Very specific, but driving through Pike Place in Seattle. It's technically a road, but it'll take you half an hour to go two blocks.

~~Is it because of pedestrians, or just heavy car traffic?~~ [edit: just read the road details, looks like it's a one-way 'living street' with pedestrians, capped at 20 mph]

Yeah, I used google for the street view. It's usually a lot more crowded than pictured, and I've never seen those steel barriers put up in real life.
So it's just a street with like 3000 tourists doing their thing and drivers who thought they'd get curbside parking stuck for 30-40 minutes trying to get through.
Itβs not a street, itβs a coffee. Common mistake.
