This paper contributes to the advanced continuum modeling for describing traffic dynamics of freeway flows. Traffic friction is addressed through the use of a viscosity term which resembles the calculation of the fluid disturbance in fluid mechanics. Properties of the new model are analyzed. The results prove that these problems such as gas-like behavior, "wrong-way travel" and linear instability which plague other higher-order continuum models do not exist in the new anisotropic non-equilibrium model.
