In Austria and Germany, in case of traffic jam cars are obligated to form a “Rettungsgasse” – this allows emergency vehicles to drive through unhindered.
Navigation company TomTom has published a list of the most congested cities in the world, which was made over nine years. Each city's congestion level was given a percentage score out of 100, with levels ranging from 66% in the most congested cities to 9% in the least. TomTom defined the congestion level as the "increase in overall traffic times when compared to a free flow situation (an uncongested situation)."
Traffic jams are a modern issue that makes people go nuts and it’s just getting worse year after year as more and more cars are on the roads.
These pictures showing traffic jams all over the world won’t say the contrary.
