In your country, or region, how do you call these ironic Monster?
Here in Panama we call them: Tranques.

In Germany apparently traffic jams are called 'road snakes'. There's a joke associated with that:

How is a road snake different from a real snake? In a road snake, the asshole's at the front!

The San Francisco Bay Area: Number 3 in the nation (give or take, depending on who's asking) for traffic!

We're so proud.

Who's got a picture of the Bay Bridge Toll Plaza? That is, without a doubt, the Bay Area's finest and most impressive traffic jam.

For me, surface street traffic is more interesting. A couple of quick expressway photos. They are all jammed. Chicago has the second worst traffic in the U.S. after Los Angeles.

3-5 lanes on each side + 3 express lanes + 1 CTA line + 1 heavy rail Metra line = Madness

Somebody has to have a picture of that awful 401 freeway in Toronto?
How about the Dan Ryan in Chicago?

Liz · #31 Posted **Apr 10, 2006, 2:05 PM**

the dan ryans not that bad, the first day of construction everyone was making a big deal of it while I sat on the ike (290) for an hour and a half. its gonna have its biggest problem if there's an accident since there aren't any shoulders.

The Bay Bridge Toll Plaza is a big traffic spot.
