Exactly....... and the traffic is normally like this. You can imagine what it's like when there's an accident. Now I live in a place where the roads and lanes were built for horse and cart, narrow and winding. :D

I know exactly what u are talking about. U almost have to plan your trips around traffic. Leaving early and coming home late to miss rush hour.

When I lived in the Midlands this junction was not far from our home.

When we were travelling between here and France, we used to set of on this motorway in the early hours of the morning to try to miss the rush but then we would have to get onto the M25 which has been described as the biggest parking lot in Europe... referring to the congestion that brings you to a halt at most times of the day and night.

Lol, this is what L.A. traffic looks like everyday. Actually this looks pretty good compared to L.A.

This looks as bad as 4 hours ago.
