Trust me bro, just one more lane
because trains are too expensive or something

Random nonsense copium go!
Trains are ANTIQUATED, bro. Cars are the future, you can't be a rugged individual on a TRAIN.
you dropped this "/s"
Traffic jams would be a whole lot less damaging if they were all electric. Just sitting there with the AC and radio on is a whole lot less emissions compared to fossil fuels.
That's true, but electric cars won't fix the core issue of car dependency and massive traffic jams
Public transport for the win :D
At least until we find a way to f* it up--again.
This is why I love trains
Exactly. This could be OP's commuting view but he playin
You may as well declare that your permanent address. It's where you live now. May as well try and find happiness where you are.
You'll meet friends there, settle in, maybe get married and have some kids, grow old and retire to the back seat, having lived a rich and full life.
In a few generations, the fact that the cars can move will only be a children's story, and eventually forgotten altogether.
Fuck fuckcars
Fuck yeah! Fuckcars
One more lane would fix this!
Let's make it ten just to be safe.
Nah lets just stagnate the minimum wage so nobody can afford a car.
Did you stop there and cause a traffic jam to get this beautiful picture?
Plot twist: photographer is the first car inthee lane
[Image description: A photo of a road with two lanes. There is bumper-to-bumper traffic reaching an approxime 53 car length.]
Looks like my commute today, just with grass lol
Was it really necessary to stop and hold up traffic just for this picture though?
ban cars
This isn't mildly infuriating. Now, if you took a second shot of the traffic in front and there was nothing - just the echo of a brake check an hour earlier. That would be mildy infuriating.
Which is why electric cars will reduce this kind of thing. When you are using a high regen that slows you down you are less likely to hit the breaks which won't trigger people behind you to break.
I don’t know if this counts as “mildly” infuriating, I’d be freaking OUT with a traffic jam that long, especially if I had somewhere to be at a certain time!
Wait, this is long? This looks like regular traffic to me...
Not from any large city in America, are you?
Any large city period.
Seriously, I live in The Netherlands which is the size of a post stamp, even we cannot make public transport work (especially outside of the larger cities), thus we also have to deal with traffic jams. All the comments of the "Fuck Cars" community are quite ignorant on the issue that public transport can only work efficiently in cities, not to connect rural areas to those cities.
Amateurs
This looks like a normal day in Tampa.
Been there before. We recently had a semi truck tip and spill thousands of frozen French fries across all lanes of the highway. They closed it completely down for hours. People were literally reversing on the highway to back up to the nearest exit. It was terrible
See, as much as I hate Texas and especially TXDOT, I will give it props for it's access roads that run alongside the interstates. Stuff gets too backed up, folks can just drive over the grass to the access road. It'll back the access road up, too, but it'll be moving, at least. Hell, out in west Texas you can see where the locals have made their own exit because the nearest one is a 10+ mile drive out of the way.
That looks like normal holiday traffic. Is it?
Never been to a city before, huh?
I find it more infuriating that there is usually no other option than traffic. If only there was a long distance mode of transit that wasn't prone to frequent traffic and collision
If only there was a long distance mode of transit that wasn’t prone to frequent traffic and collision
If you're in the US, even trains won't help. De/under-regulation means there are over a thousand collisions and/or rail failures every year. Even if passenger trains were given priority, the lax safety and maintenance standards allowed on freight lines would cause monumental delays.
Back in 2017 or whatever that North American solar eclipse was, I drove down to Bend Oregon to view it. After, there was bumper to bumper traffic almost the whole way north, back to Seattle, WA. There was literal bumper to bumper traffic from Bend, OR to Issaquah, WA. That was almost 350 miles and took basically an entire day. It was horrible having to pee on the side of the road in bumper to bumper traffic in the middle of nowhere. Protip? Don't try to drink the Gatorade just to have a pee bottle.
