Think about this the next time you're in a 1-hour traffic jam everyone!

There's no jobs in the US. We would welcome 9 days in traffic to get to work. ;)

9 days? Nice vacation there and fun with chess.

Cell phone GPS and intelligent token pass auto scheduling system can be used to help the flow of traffics and save gasoline consumption.

@fromwkfsmouth Oh, and France still holds tight to its dubious award for the longest traffic jam ever - 109 miles of gridlock in 1980!

@fromwkfsmouth (con't) the former WB Studio Store in Delaware, and the move to my current state of Florida! (Keep in mind that I was a girl first born and raised in the state where the latter two roads are located before moving in 1999.)

But none of those experiences compare to that monster traffic over to the father orient! I don't know how I would react if I were stuck in it!

Oh gosh - I had been in traffic jams almost every day when I took the bus to Jefferson High in Tampa (The routes included I-4 and I-275!), and sometimes they were HORRIBLE!

Also, I had traveled with my late father on the Garden State Parkway (aka the Garden State Parking Lot) at least 10 times and faced that kind of traffic. Ditto for the few times he drove me and the family along the NJ Turnpike when going to Six Flags Great Adventure, Washington DC, one Florida vacation, Williamsburg VA...
