Does trafffic ever get THIS BAD in your city?

[Still-alive]

This is the interstate 405 freeway in Los Angeles. I think its up in the Santa Monica area. This is just a normal weekday evening for us during rush hour. Swell huh?

Yes traffic in my city does get that bad too

Luckily no. we get traffic but it doesn't get that bad

We don't get much traffic at all actually

My city gets worse traffic than that actually

[CrazyGirl2]

No, it doesn't get THAT bad, BUT… Whenever UF is playing a football game at home, Everyone in town knows to stock up for the weekend, because traffic will be absolutely horrible, and the shops will be SO packed, it can take so long to just check-out, that your milk will be sour by the time you get home! Well, maybe not that bad, but it is pretty fckn’ terrible on home-game weekends! Seriously, the population of Gainesville almost doubles on game-day weekends!

If you're in the outside lane how are you supposed to get across all the others when you reach your exit?

Most roads here are single lane bar a few duel carriageways. It can get busy in the summer season when people flock to the beach but nothing like the photo

[Still-alive]

"If you're in the outside lane how are you supposed to get across all the others when you reach your exit?"

very carefully lol. its doable. you gotta start getting over maybe 2-4 miles back

[paledreams]

@purlepoppy "there is no exiting" - the far lane is for straight and straight driving only 😆😆😆🛣️🛣️🛣️😅 - parodying that movie airplane and loading zones of white zones lol for loading or unloading lol 😆

[paledreams]

No such things as exiting in the far lane - go straight only hahaha ever 😉😂 to end of freeway lol 😆 🛣️

I lived by the I-405 San Diego Freeway when I lived in Hermosa Beach in the Los Angeles area 30+ years ago. I have been in traffic jams like that but they move at least. I grew up on Long Island and there aren't roads as wide as the LA freeways, but traffic jams there were usually worse often not even moving.

[DrPepper12]

ESPECIALLY in the summer when the yuppie fuckwads from Manhattan go to the Hamptons for the weekend!

[paledreams]

I voted B, yet give Australia a few more years decades since after the Covid era and the eventual end of everyone's work from elsewhere than works conditions - yeah traffic. Must be hell living there day to day, I'm amazed people don't honk, honk, just to vent. Or run out of gas every other lane :(

[paledreams]

Like that's really crazy if it's just standstill for minutes go by minutes - how they don't lose it lol 🧠🧠👍🏻

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes, in downtown Pittsburgh, PA

[goaded]

12 lanes? Couldn't they use one lane to run trams or busses out to parking lots on the edge of town?

[Still-alive]

Adequate Public transit in Los Angeles? Lol get outta here with that :p

[DrPepper12]

Usa Americans invest in even basic mass transit? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 <<< BREATHE >>> 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[DrPepper12]

If you've ever tried to cross the George Washington bridge in NYC at any time between 12:00 p. m. and 11:59 a. m. It looks exactly like that except it's three lanes on top and three lands on bottom. Unfortunately it's been designated as a terrorist attack top five as it would CRIPPLE the tri-state area

[coxoabean]

Yes, Texas. There'll be traffic from Dallas all the way to Fort Worth. It's also getting much worse!! Then there's the crazy spaghetti highways and they are building more, and Texan's drive like crazy. Fast and crazy.

[IslaTheWitch]

no... it's or to Berlin overcrowded or out of Berlin... never in both directions :D

[menina]

I've heard that the traffic in my city is bad, I just don't know if as bad as the traffic in Los Angeles.

[paledreams]

@menina all of our small cities compared to LA will get there, secretly I cruelly hope hahaha 😜😅🙄😜😅 ah well devil 😈👿 - see eventually every city reaches crowding 😋👀

[paledreams]

@Menia my bias would say, for my agenda and values, "blame capitalism" mmm 🤔🤤

[paledreams]

And embrace socialism ;) 😜😁

[menina]

@paledreams I don't know what socialism has to do to with cities and traffic. 🤷🏾‍♀️
But I'm not hoping to see my city like that.

[electromagnetic]

In Toronto, practically every day between 7-9 and again 4-6

[Minky17]

No. We live in a small city with less than 15k people. We have this level of traffic in Raleigh and Durham areas though.

[Bricealan]

@Still-alive That's why I am in Orange County... Still insane coming North, but going back South her HB, is an easy drive...

[Bricealan]

..." going South from HB, is an easy drive

[petitedollbabee]

Never.. perks of having a population of only 40,000.

[Unit1]

Not that I know.

I am a brokie without even a drivers license, that works from home. I'm so broke, that I don't get to eat daily to the extend I need to eat. And I'm a software engineer.

[AliceGregory]

No Minneapolis is nowhere near as bad as LA.

[mandyfire98]

No way lol. But we don't have anywhere near the people they have either.

[dreamstar72]

At least their lanes are wider than our lanes. Gee our lanes are a tight fit.

[Staximus]

I've spent many hours sitting on the 405 parking lot

[Wiredone]

Yes every day in the morning and the afternoon.

[Caroline91]

That’s kinda where I’m from, so yes. Lol

[Caroline91]

We call that kind of traffic a parking lot lol

[DeeDeeDeVour]

San Francisco Bay Area traffic is no better.

[ChicoFromThe305]

All the time unfortunately
