Example 3: Maximum Flow and Minimum Cut Problem

During peak traffic hours, many cars are travelling from a downtown parkade to the nearest freeway on ramp.  The
traffic engineers have decided to widen the road downtown to accomodate this heavy flow of cars traveling between
these two points.  Which roads should the engineers widen in order to achieve this goal?

Below is a network that shows the roads connecting the parkade, node A, to the freeway on-ramp, node G.  The
arcs are labeled with their directional flow.
ie: This shows that A to B has a capacity of 5, while B to A has a capacity of 0.
