IAHD -- I am DUH. Forgive me.
Lara -- weirdly enough, I'm used to being stuck in traffic. Even though the roads here are normally empty, whenever something happens, you're stuck.
Is someone getting a new house? Those pieces are big and take up the whole road here. Then everyone going in the opposite direction has to drive in reverse!
A couple of times (because of the small, twisty roads), the big truck carrying the house gets stuck in a ditch. That's always a mess.
And any accident, it's the same way. Not because the car that was in the accident is taking up the whole road, but the people who came up on the accident and stop to help are taking up the whole road.
The most normal "traffic jam" is one person is traveling south, and another person is travelling north, and they decide to stop and talk to each other in the middle of the road. That's an everyday occurance.
