Gridlock

I found this picture on the web. Without actually experiencing it, I can't think of a better way to explain the madness and frustration of Bangkok traffic.


Anyone who has been to Bangkok knows about its traffic problems. The average speed during rush-hour in the Central Business District is something like 5 mph -just a touch faster than walking.

The Bangkok Metropolotin Authority has made some efforts to improve the situation by putting up traffic alert signs in congested areas around town.

The idea is - the sign shows you what roads to avoid (Red) and indicates alternative routes you can take that have less traffic (Green).

There's only one problem...
