In case you never experienced this firsthand --

For those unfortunate few who never in their life have had the uplifting experience of being in the dead middle of a total traffic gridlock, the following pictures are offered. Some show gridlock in Asia, some in Europe, and drivers, wherever they are, always obey the law and stay on their proper side of the road.


















Create gridlock from the comfort of your own home (for it is far less stressful that way).

[The traffic simulator is the online work of researchers at the Technische Universitaet Dresden, to whom we are grateful.]

Oh, and by the way, if you have never experienced gridlock, welcome to Ramsey.
