Traffic Madness around the world

Postby Benuty » Fri Jan 25, 2013 8:58 pm

Now of-course you may view this as a simple road-rage thread but to be honest, it might as well be. Traffic is known to be horrendous in parts of the world especially in Asia and Europe where condensed populations of drivers often thrash at each other or lash out at bikers and pedestrians. Traffic based casualties across the world have increased because of either Road rage or other factors. This thread is to possibly discuss ways of either fitting the system across the various continents to adapt to the expanding car problem or find solutions to get used to the massive numbers of cars that pummel there way across the roads. Rural areas are often blessed to not have to deal with this problem but urban areas are just epicenters of chaos especially during school mornings, rush hour, and the getting to and off work traffic hours. Personally living where I live is traffic hell sometimes because of the monstrous traffic jams that sometimes effect France and just getting to work can be a hassle and of-course the worst part of it, the school traffic

Basically taking my 2 kids to school is utter madness with bicyclists, trash pickers, pedestrians, government workers, and other people running around like crazy with the only order being a traffic light, its just absolute chaos out on our streets. It is a miracle the world can function properly.

What do you think NSG?

any crazy traffic were you are?

One time this person had a car and started it up and drove somewhere. There was a lot of traffic, so she got angry and turned on the radio. When she got to work, she didn't remember what she had listened to on the radio. Isn't that crazy?

This is Idaho! Stay off the freeway on rush hour, and you will never be stuck behind anyone.

Hahaha, you have no idea.

Still not as scary as Jo-burg (ever been shot in minibus taxi?), Istanbul (no seatbelts...70mph...on cobblestone... straight downhill...driver trying to steer with his elbows), or Mumbai (why is my hair so white?).

Saigon traffic: Forget about being somewhere on time past 8:00 AM. Construction, mud water pits, angry motorcyclists, aggressive taxi drivers, car chase type fruit vendors, etc

Thankfully I am blessed enough to live in a rural area where traffic is no problem. Only time we ever get a traffic jam is when someone wrecks their vehicle on the main highway.
