That't not unlike how the dynamic adaptive local traffic routing works in the procedural Distributed City Generation rule for the Moveable Feast Machine.

Here's the fascinating paper that describes exactly how that works:
Local Routing in a new Indefinitely Scalable Architecture, by Trent Small.
>Abstract: Local routing is a problem which most of us face on a daily basis as we move around the cities we live in. This study proposes several routing methods based on road signs in a procedurally generated city which does not assume knowledge of global city structure and shows its overall efficiency in a variety of dense city environments. We show that techniques such as Intersection-Canalization allow for this method to be feasible for routing information arbitrarily on an architecture with limited resources.
