The first total traffic jam was in 2022. This was due to rain.

Due to the rain, the roads in the afternoon were completely jammed. Almost no movement, very stressful. The streets from one end of the road to the other were filled with cars. This is the first total traffic jam that I have experienced in 2022. If it's a total traffic jam like this it feels very boring. I hope you don't experience the same thing as this. Image is mine.

Yes, it means that your place has never been a traffic jam on the highway. That's very good.

@sinari There are only 7,000 people total in my city. We couldn't create a very big traffic jam if we tried.

@DaddyEvil Oh so, it's no wonder that in your area there will never be a total traffic jam like what my city has experienced. I happen to live in a metropolitan city, which has a very large population.

Yes, this is a total traffic jam due to heavy rain. Surely you have never experienced anything like this in the city where you live.

That is very stressful. I don't experience this anymore. When I was still in Manila, I experience this a lot of times.

@sinari yes, aside from stress, our time is being wasted.

Yes, you are absolutely right. When experiencing a total traffic jam on the highway like this, it really makes us stressed and bored. Because it interferes with the smooth journey and our work. Hopefully you will not experience anything like this in your place there.

@jobelbojel Yes, totally agree. Our time is just wasted. And what is even more pitiful are people who are being chased by time, for example, they want to have a meeting, they want to go on a plane, there are people who are sick who need medical treatment. If you are stuck on a traffic jam like this, it will be very detrimental and very disturbing.

Yes thank you. Indeed, if it rains and in the afternoon, traffic jams often occur on the highway like this.

I have never experienced anything like that and I never expect too. The picture is shocking. I don't believe I've seen a traffic jam like that in my whole life! It must be so frustrating to be in a traffic jam like that. I've been in traffic jams before, and they were bad enough, so being in one like on that picture must be horrendous!

@sinari I don't expect I will. The ones I've been in were bad enough. My step-dad got really annoyed and impatient. I can only imagine what he'd be like in a traffic jam like THAT one!

Yes, you are absolutely right. Being in a total traffic jam like this is very stressful and headaches are also very boring. Hopefully you will never experience traffic jams on the road like this.

This is a real traffic jam and it is quite serious. Hopefully it won't happen quite often. This can be quite stressful.

Yes, this usually happens when it rains heavily in the afternoon, especially if it rains when people come home from work. Then there will often be total congestion as shown in this picture.

We have traffic jams here in the US. There was one on the east coast recently that tied up drivers for 10-12 hours.

Wow, it turns out that in your place there is also a total traffic jam on the highway like the one in my place. Traffic jam for only one hour already makes my head dizzy, let alone experiencing a traffic jam for 10-12 hours like in your city, I will definitely be very stressed.

It turns out that Malaysia and my city often experience traffic jams on the highway as well.
