One MPH

Escondido, CA

People who live in Bute or travel along the Alcan highwyay don't see many traffic jams. This one was MAJOR and it took me over an hour to drive less than five miles to my home. They are all too common these days in San Diego. Do you have big traffic jams where you live?


other sizes: small medium large original auto

North County is tough. We live in San Diego City and can get to downtown and most places by taking side streets. Thank God for that. I avoid I-15 where you took this photos as much as possible.

The only jam I see is the one I spread on my toast....ya gotta love country ;>)

Nope. We weren't too happy recently when they added another traffic light, number three. However, one Saturday a month is Market Days and the tourists flood our little village and the locals stay home! (Not me, I go to Market Days.)

I live in the country where it is quiet, but work in London during the week.
I think it was the last Thurdsay in May 1992
when we didn't have a trafic jam

traffic jams? In New York City? Nah.... we just breeze effortlessly through our streets
Karen Leaf03-Jul-2007 03:39
right. the only jam I get into is when the hospital traffic lets out, and only 2 cars can make the red light when turning left :) Seriously a 2 minute wait at the light and I get itchy :)

You got them coming and going. Oh yes, we have traffic jams but I don't dare aim a camera out the window--they might think it's an AK47 and aim back.

Well yeah...we get jammed up in Colorado too. I like the way you put this composition together, Robin. It captures all the frustration of being there!
