My brother in Christ you are the traffic

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm sure one more lane will fix it.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Speaking of which, is there a r/fuckcars equivalent over here?

[–] WhatsHerBucket 5 points 1 year ago

They’ll just block the other lane while they do it lol

[–] dustojnikhummer 49 points 1 year ago (3 children)

What is crazy is that with 1 passenger per car, that is not that many people. Like not even 50. You could all fit in a single bus

[–] Airazz 10 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Or motorcycles/bicycles, if you really want personal mode of transport.

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

[–] lynny 22 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Just wait until you realize there used to be a train to every town, including every single small town.

We had the passenger train networks, it was what built the country, but now it is gone.

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.

One more lane would fix this!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Let's make it ten just to be safe.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Nah lets just stagnate the minimum wage so nobody can afford a car.

TXDOT would like to offer you a job as a traffic engineer!

Plot twist: photographer is the first car inthee lane

[–] danc4498 14 points 1 year ago

Did you stop there and cause a traffic jam to get this beautiful picture?

[–] ThaijsClan 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

Was it really necessary to stop and hold up traffic just for this picture though?

Looks like my commute today, just with grass lol

[–] ChampagneEquinox 8 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Wait, this is long? This looks like regular traffic to me...

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.

This looks like a normal day in Tampa.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

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.
