Makes you realize getting around by car has never been the most efficient form of travel no matter the width of a lane or roadway.

Congestion is always a thing caused by cars themselves.

    Ha. What a hilariously outdated concept of sitting in “traffic” in a car that burns mined byproduct for energy.

    Good thing we realized DECADES ago that designing life around cars and roads was wildly inefficient and against human health and growth; but instead, we invested in great city planning and public transportation.

    Could you IMAGINE this picture from over half a century ago still representing problems we face in modern life? 🫠🫠🫠

      Depending on which country you are from this comment works sarcastically or sincerely.

    I don’t know, man. Looks a little lightweight for Toronto traffic.

    Also, back before unleaded gas and modem emissions… Engines had to run a touch rich. Can you imagine the smell?!
