One principle of civil engineering is that when you design a highway you should have traffic flow in the same direction and avoid interruptions to that flow as much as possible. Exit ramps tend to be curved so that cars don't have to stop rather than having 90-degree angles that force stops and starts. This is an application of which Gestalt principle?

A) good continuation
B) closure
C) proximity
D) contiguity

Gestalt Principle

A concept in psychology that proposes the mind integrates patterns and objects into whole forms rather than perceiving the parts separately.

Good Continuation

A Gestalt principle of perceptual organization that states that elements that appear to follow in the same direction are more likely to be seen as a continuous whole.

Contiguity

A principle of learning based on the idea that events occurring together in time or space are readily associated with each other.
