This traffic is ridiculous. And it isn't even officially the start of rush hour yet!
Former Soviet Premier Nikita Krushchev flew over a traffic jam like this in Detroit in 1959. He thought it was a parking lot; when he was told by his hosts that this was normal and a sign of American prosperity, he was appalled, and it hardened his resolve that the average Soviet citizen would never own cars. And until the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991, that's exactly how it was.
