greetings to all you guys, we all know that two days more before the Christmas,but here in my country we still have work and its hard for us to travel because all roads that is near to the malls and market are really heavy traffic,it because many families and consumers who still go to the malls and market to buy what they needs on Christmas,have you experience this too?especially on the roads that are near in malls and market.

My country gets crowded every single festival that we will going through.People get out and they are having holidays before that.So that's always the time that i choose to not come out.Well,to enjoy my own life.Because stuck on the road really feels bad.

Out of this reason, I do not plan to travel anywhere this May Day to avoid busy traffic. I stay in my apartment doing things I have not time to do in my usual time. I feel so happy today that I have done so much today and it is meaningful to me.

yes,people are quite busy when they go to work, they only have time to go out and have a relax during the holidays, that is why we always have heavy traffic in the holidays.

Right now our May Day is coming and everyone in the country is traveling from place to place. Many people have their own private cars that make the roads busier and more crowded than usual. When we are in the downtown, it is hard to have the cars move on. But I can understand this since it is a holiday.

Hello asliah. When holiday comes, it is busy and crowded everywhere on the road and in the mall as there are so many people on the move. In February, we will have our traditional Spring Festival. By then our local supermarkets will be very crowded with so many customers shopping there. Of course, outside the supermarket there will be too many cars parking somewhere there. I am looking forward to the festival. Merry Christmas to you, asliah.

Hi.. I would first like to introduce you to my country I live in India and traffic here is as common as clouds in the sky.Its a festival or not it takes us at least about 45 minutes to travel 6 miles in a bike and if its a car then its about 1 hour this is all because of the traffic and no proper rules such as the lane discipline etc.I go to work or school, if there are malls or markets its the always same here.I guess you can imagine the situation here.

I agree, people are on the rushed and the road are in traffic mode. I don't want to go out yesterday, but I need to do my errands. We just need to endure and be happy for the Christmas Eve.

In our modern life traffic can be a very big problem.In my country the traffic is heavy in everyday,and in holidays it can be a nightmare for you...

Thankfully,My place of work is out of town,so traffic congestion is rarely a problem going in or returning home..being an agricultural area,though,a charity sponsored farm tractor rally on the road (with what seemed like a hundred participants!) this past summer was frustrating,but as it was for charity,we sucked it up while it lasted..

good day to you asliah, what you have posted was really right. heavy traffic is really everywhere in every place though the traffic team already did their best to resolved it. well, i guess, it is a part of the season. thus every year, traffic jams are always encounter when holidays are coming.

Where are you from? In my country, traffic jam happens quite often.and it's so annoying and frustrating. Especially when festive season is around the corner.so better stay at home and enjoy holiday with families.=)

True,I just went through a heavy traffic jam last night,it was so terrible.All the metro were overloaded and the cars were on the road that cannot go smoothly.It took me more than a hour to be back home,I just spend half an hour in the normal times.Anyway,merry xmas and have a nice day.
