First picture is taken from the window of Red Hat's offices in Sao Paulo, Brazil,
followed by various location around the world,
with Russia featured quite prominent














Bucharest, Romania

Unregulated mess somewhere in Russia:





Here is the classic traffic jam that terrorized Moscow Sadovoye Koltzo (ring road) in October 2007:






Continuing well into the night:


This particular congestion is not actually a traffic jam. It happened in Italy during the strike, creating bottle-necks for trucks at the border:

The only thing worst is sitting in over 50 miles of traffic like that to save you life and running out of gas!

I thought the ones from Russia were supposed to be the ones with no markings on the asphalt... grin One huge wide street and God knows how many lanes.... I remember driving through St Petersburg on a Sunday morning, 10 a.m. ... (what I thought would be the quietest time of the week) the jam was just amazing. The lack of markings makes some drivers suppose there's 5 lanes each way, some others assume it's 6 or 7, and as a result the traffic flows through the streets like some porridge... It was very interesting!! (after that, the traffic jams in Riga seemed like a piece of cake)

Thanks for posting these, really cool indeed! laugh
