Well, one of the main problems with street traffic is the confinement to two dimensions. On a two-lane road, all it takes is one slow driver and no place to pass to block everyone behind. Adding a third dimension increases the amount of space by an order of magnitude and gives two more degrees of freedom (actually 4 since most street and road travel is confined to one dimension most of the time) for navigation and avoiding accidents. Like you say, the problem would be organizing the traffic where a large number of people are going to one spot. Out in the open, the probability of collision goes down an order of magnitude from 2D travel. I agree that there would have to be some guidelines and restrictions, but adding a third dimension would do away with nearly all traffic jams. Interesting exercise in 3D: Draw out and render three "limited access freeways", all orthogonal to each other, one north-south, one east-west, and one up-down, coming together at one place, needing an interchange capable of allowing motorists to exit any freeway and get onto either other freeway in either direction without requiring any stops or signals.
