Wow those two are... the worst I've ever seen...

Traffic Jam is really exasperating but I'd rather deal with traffic jam than with people jam on public transportation... at least in crazy Mexico City

This is my favourite traffic jam picture. Its basically a major highway with five private vehicle lanes in each direction, dedicated bus lanes on the side, and a segregated LRT line at the middle. And the only thing moving fast is the LRT!!!

Any synonymous for Traffic Jam

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

How horrid and clausterphobic. Imagine an ambulance trying to get cars to pull over. Imagine the smell of hydrocarbons. Imagine the kids freaking out in the backseat. I would pull a Michael Douglas in "Falling Down" move, and just abandon my car.

That picture is absolutely incredible. Especially the fact there's a big ass "JESUS SAVES" billboard above the freeway. I don't think it could get any more perfect than that.

Incidentally, any idea where that is?

Oh and another info, this highway is the billboard mecca in the country. Looks distracting on daytime but looks actually cool at night
