[-] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

I'm sure one more lane will fix it.

[-] WhatsHerBucket@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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.

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

[Image description: A photo of a road with two lanes. There is bumper-to-bumper traffic reaching an approxime 53 car length.]

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@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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.

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.

One more lane would fix this!

[-] Jenga@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

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

Plot twist: photographer is the first car inthee lane

[-] jt_snow_is_life@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Never been to a city before, huh?

[-] lynny@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Cities tend to have public transport.

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.
