An analytic scaling solution is presented near the critical point of the phase separation. The validity of the solution has been confirmed from the comparison with the simulation of the model.11 pages, 2 ps figures, RevTeXPattern Formation and SolitonsNonequilibrium phase separation in traffic flowstext
