Bay Bridge?

Is Highway 401 in Ontario a constant construction site or what? For an extremely busy roadway, it looks in pretty good condition.

5 lanes on one direction??? Usually bridges have 3 or 2 lanes per direction, or it's the first time i notice something like this

5 lanes on one direction??? Usually bridges have 3 or 2 lanes per direction, or it's the first time i notice something like this

The 5 lanes going in the other direction are under the 5 lanes in the pic.

Is Highway 401 in Ontario a constant construction site or what? For an extremely busy roadway, it looks in pretty good condition.

Definitely is during the summer time, you can see that in 4 of the 6 pics I posted there are construction pylons out. The thing goes through cold winters, hot summers, and a constant flow of heavy traffic so it can get beat up pretty quickly.

Bay Bridge?

Yeah.

I always think it's a contest between Bangkok and Mexico City for just being helplessly stuck there and not moving an inch!

But some of the North American ones are impressive for all 10 - 12 lanes of the freeway being totally jammed with thousands of cars in all directions flyovers and interchanges included. I am not sure which is worse -- Los Angeles's 405 or Toronto's 401.

It looks like USA

It looks like USA


As a matter of fact, the city is located only 145 miles south of the Texas border.

Now, this is some traffic jam!!!

I think is in Florida, evacuating the southern tip of the state, just before a hurricane.

I think that is Houston because of the service roads

^^ :yes: Yes, I saw that pic in a newspaper and it said 'Houston'

I think you're right.

surrounded in red are the speed control ( I don't know the real work for this)The traffic is actually very fluid on those picture. 10 minutes from Porte de Montreuil to Porte d'Italie isn't that much.

Just an old funny pictures from Place de l'Etoile in Paris.

http://mapage.noos.fr/marla13/etoile.jpg

So strange... I drove few times on Place de l'Etoile, and even if it's true there's a lots of traffic, it's never a problem to pass here (whereas theres's no lane paint on the ground). It looks so strange from the air! I wonder me how many cars/hrs go here.

Yes isn't Paris traffic jam.

145 miles it's big in europe.

speaking of the place d' etoile(i hope thats right), why havent they painted lanes/lines for traffic. i was in paris last summer and we were in a taxi and it was a nightmare! and dont even try crossing that mess on foot! horrendous but beautiful to look at.

145 miles it's big in europe.

not that big in North America..

not that big in North America..I don't think there's such a difference between Europe and North America in here. 145 miles isn't that big in Europe, it's easily reachable, even to spend each weekends , but you don't make the distance every day.

I don't think there's such a difference considering that in one case or the other the transit time will be the same : about 2 hours by car. However, it's obvious that knowing countries in Europe have the same size as states in the US, it's obvious that it's more "exceptionnal" to be at 145 miles from a foreign country in the US than in Europe.

^^
In France 145 miles is not much.
In Belgium it's huge! :)

North America is alot larger then Europe so 145 miles doesn't feel quite as big here... In fact USA, Canada, and Mexico are larger then any european nation by alot except Russia. Texas is bigger then France.

You started the offence, because I showed you reality on Indonesian street's.
If you can't handle reality, fine. But don't react like a child.

OMG ! :eek::eek::eek::shocked::shocked::shocked:

Is that a usual day in Istanbul, or some kind of vacations fleeing or something like that?

Unfortunately usual
Therefore a 3rd bridge and a 2nd underwatertunnel is planned

omg... that's terrible...

i can't imagine going everyday over that bridge... :S even less working on other side...

Thank god many new metro lines are u/c
BTW, its only at rush hour time

Removing the tollbooth might help the traffic.

it was discussed and since some years you have to pay only one direction
But money :)
As i know after 3 years they earned the money of the bridge's costs

BTW, at the tollbooth there are yellow gates
Those are "automatic" ones
you just have to drive with 60km/h
a laser reads a "bar code" at your window and charge the money from your account

Lot's of cars. :)

The gas price in Venezuela is one of the lowest in the world because it's subsidized by the state, right?

Yes, gasoline is heavily subsidized making it the cheapest in the world: it costs about 0.12 US$ a Gallon, that is 0.03 US$ a Liter !!!! (1 Gallon = 3.7854 Lts.)...it´s even cheaper than water!!!

i like to watch traffic jam photo, its so awesome that so many cars get stuck!!! just i dont wish my self get stuck in the traffic. haha...

Is Highway 401 in Ontario a constant construction site or what? For an extremely busy roadway, it looks in pretty good condition.

No, if you have actually driven on 401 especially in spring and summer, you will find that there are lots of holes on the road. If your speed exceeds 160km, you can feel the road is not smooth.

The best roads I have seen are in German and China.
In German, there is no speed limit on some highway.
In China, drivers don't care about the speed limit as they always drive higher than 200km/s with a crappy car. But the maintenance is excellent because all express/high ways in China are tolled.

It's not that bad, some stretches are mildly bumpy. yoy still going 160km/h? with the new law now? Don't forget popo is cracking down on street racing anything over 50km over the speed limit and popo takes your license and car away:down:

crazy pic lol

some snowy village pics from Germany i took this april:

the reason why cloverleafs are the most used form is because it is the cheapest (my guess). you only need to build one bridge. some regions are full of cloverleafs, just check out the area around Mannheim/Ludwigshafen or the entire Rhein-Ruhr-Area.

This morning, I needed 2 hours to drive to Koblenz (40km) just because of some few snow.
