We discuss a numerical discretization of Hamilton--Jacobi equations on networks. The latter arise for example as reformulation of the Lighthill--Whitham--Richards traffic flow model. We present coupling conditions for the Hamilton--Jacobi equations and derive a suitable numerical algorithm. Numerical computations of travel times in a round-about are given.
Keywords: Networks, traffic flow, Hamilton-Jacobi Equations..
