My idea at first was with two opposite traffic lines, but this makes car 
  two times smaller on the picture, which is somewhat problematic.

The cars are simply placed in pov, using position and angle infos read 
in Wings3D. I just chose the points where I wanted the cars to be, read 
the corresponding position (and angles) in Wings, and then 
translate/rotate the car object as needed in pov. I wish a had the 
spline describing the car path along the whole knot, so I could for 
example make an animation, but this would require to read manually the 
position of a few hundreds vertices in wings :-/ I could not figure an 
easy/lazy way to get this info yet...
