P. 902
The entries in this vector indicate the proportion of time the traffic officer spends at each intersection over the long term. Thus, if
the objective is for her to spend the same proportion of time at each intersection, then the strategy of random movement with equal
probabilities from one intersection to another is not a good one. (See Exercise 5.)
