Abstract: Abstract A traffic-flow model with objects moving towards three directions is investigated by numerical simulations and the mean-field approach. This traffic-flow model includes four kinds of objects in two-dimensional network, each chooses one of three directions to move. Average velocity and flow are calculated and phase transitions are observed increasing the density of objects. It is found that there are three kinds of traffic jams in a range of density of objects just above the critical value.
