I'm sure one more lane will fix it.
Speaking of which, is there a r/fuckcars equivalent over here?
Also /c/[email protected]. In a sense. Somehow they had the bright idea to also invite car fans. That's not going to cause any issues at all, no it certainly won't.
You can be a car guy/car fan and still recognize that cars don't belong into city centers and that trains are objectively better for mass transit. Both should exist.

What is crazy is that with 1 passenger per car, that is not that many people. Like not even 50. You could all fit in a single bus

Let's make it ten just to be safe.
Nah lets just stagnate the minimum wage so nobody can afford a car.
You may as well declare that your permanent address. It's where you live now. May as well try and find happiness where you are.
You'll meet friends there, settle in, maybe get married and have some kids, grow old and retire to the back seat, having lived a rich and full life.
In a few generations, the fact that the cars can move will only be a children's story, and eventually forgotten altogether.
I don’t know if this counts as “mildly” infuriating, I’d be freaking OUT with a traffic jam that long, especially if I had somewhere to be at a certain time!
Wait, this is long? This looks like regular traffic to me...
Not from any large city in America, are you?
Any large city period.
Seriously, I live in The Netherlands which is the size of a post stamp, even we cannot make public transport work (especially outside of the larger cities), thus we also have to deal with traffic jams. All the comments of the "Fuck Cars" community are quite ignorant on the issue that public transport can only work efficiently in cities, not to connect rural areas to those cities.
[Image description: A photo of a road with two lanes. There is bumper-to-bumper traffic reaching an approxime 53 car length.]
Public transport for the win :D
At least until we find a way to f* it up--again.
Been there before. We recently had a semi truck tip and spill thousands of frozen French fries across all lanes of the highway. They closed it completely down for hours. People were literally reversing on the highway to back up to the nearest exit. It was terrible

Did you stop there and cause a traffic jam to get this beautiful picture?
Plot twist: photographer is the first car inthee lane
Was it really necessary to stop and hold up traffic just for this picture though?
I find it more infuriating that there is usually no other option than traffic. If only there was a long distance mode of transit that wasn't prone to frequent traffic and collision
Just wait until you realize there used to be a train to every town, including every single small town.
We had the passenger train networks, it was what built the country, but now it is gone.

If you're in the US, even trains won't help. De/under-regulation means there are over a thousand collisions and/or rail failures every year. Even if passenger trains were given priority, the lax safety and maintenance standards allowed on freight lines would cause monumental delays.
Looks like my commute today, just with grass lol
At that point you gotta hop out and walk 🤧
This looks like a normal day in Tampa.
That looks like normal holiday traffic. Is it?
