Name of traffic lite phenomenon

I have seen some people use a logic term for people sitting at a traffic light ...when the light changes they don't all start moving at once but there is a delay for each vehicle
What is the name for that?

Propagation delay?

Lag time or
D**B A*S

Traffics Lights - Progressively Regressive

Peter Natchtwey has referred to it in the past as...

First Order Plus Delay Time (FOPDT)

Initial vehicle has an Acceleration Time Constant (ACT) greater than the subsequent vehicle(s).

The "art" of coordinating a "platoon" of vehicles through successive intersections is known as "Progression".

The "art" of discussing it here on the Forum is known as "Regression"...

...In both its statistical and therapeutic forms.

George
