Istanbul's Bosphorus Bridge, which connects the neighborhoods of Ortaköy and Beylerbeyi, experiences a flood of traffic during rush hour.

According to a 2014 report from GPS manufacturer TomTom, commuters in Istanbul spend a staggering 125 hours stuck in traffic every year.
Definition of Engineering in motion. This bridge is crazy... shocked shocked

No one enjoys having to go to work in the mornings, especially if they have a commute from hell.

And that's precisely what these are.


Traffic jams and road congestion is something that everybody has to deal with either daily or at some point in their life.

Whether you are going to work, or coming back home, catching a train, making the school trip to drop off the kids, doing some shopping, travelling or simply trying to commute to work, busy roads can be incredibly frustrating.

100 people on a bus or train thats meant for 20 or sitting in your car and moving along as a snail’s pace is something that nobody enjoys.

However, over the past decade or so the problem has grown much worse.

A bigger distribution of wealth and cheaper cars mean that more people can afford to own a vehicle and with roads rarely being expanded or improved, they can’t keep up with the growth.

The problem is even worse in developing countries where until a few years ago, only the very wealthy could afford to drive.

Coupled with occasional treacherous storm or natural disaster, this has led to some truly incredible traffic jams that have caused more than a slight delay.

They leave home as early as 4:00am and get to work late after 8:00am.


In Nigeria, locals refer to traffic jams as "go-slows," and they are said to occur at any given moment throughout the day.

Lagos, Nigeria.

These Lagos pictures are old pictures. Lagos no longer looks this terrible. Some notorious traffic nests have been decongested. However, traffic still na die for gidi. The one i experienced today from Mowe to Berger almost left me in tears

do you guys see why a cleansing is necessary, the wicked elite knows it and they gat something for the world, google Georgia Guidestones then after the wicked elite depopulates then Most High will depopulate the remnant of the wicked.If you dont have a purpose in this life, you dont have any business being on earth.Yall need to quit spewing babies out and no all children are not a blessing, some/most are curses/cursed.
Isaiah 13:11 KJVS
And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir . in other words man/woman will be
very scarce and rare upon the earth

The 33-year-old, of Dhaka city, Bangladesh, explains:

'It is busiest on the trains in the mornings and evenings when people are coming into the city to work or leaving to go home.

'Those who fail to get a place inside the train end up climbing onto the roof or holding onto the sides and fronts of the train.'
