Haha, this should be a cool thread...

Love that first one Haljacky... some of the Cars went STRAIGHT through the sound barrier... that has got to be some force 18.gif

I love the Irony in your Sig too... 'Conjestion Management'... 2.gif

Heres one from me...its not NEARLY as bad as Haljacky's but its probably the worst I saw in Siberia [Everybody was middle or lower class so they used public transport 3.gif ... you and your fancy Porche's]-

El Burro, thats a busy roundabout. And yes, my Sig is a little of a coincidence!  I guess I will post a few more before I log off for now, so here you go!

Click on the photos for FULL RESOLUTION!

The image

This is my jammed roundabout... maybe it should be widened like yours, eh?

The image

Thats the thing with cloverleafs, once the loops fill up, everything is stuck forever!

The image

Way too much traffic at the terminus for this highway!

The image

This one isn't ment to be a congestion photo, it shows the intersection after that huge crash in the thread's first photo.  Its now just a simple overpass, as the city didn't want to have turns anymore because of all the mayham they caused.

    Hey thanks for the feedback!  shinkansen1 and tommiej, The traffic generator in that picture if from an older photo of mine... That one caused all the traffic I must say.

    Anyways, I was digging through my old albums and I found another sick collision!  This one is generated by traffic generators.  This is its full resolution, I had a smaller screen back then... Now I have a nice widescreen LCD that gives me the nice images shown in some of my other shots..

    The image

    Now THIS is a pileup! Ever since this accident, the ave overpass at the bottom of the image has been extended to cross over the other road, getting rid of the intersection.  Because no cars can turn though, other intersections nearby are very congested.

    in real life, how much will all this damage cost??

    haljackey that was amazing - and hilarious!

    Man, I sure arrived at the right community!

    Is it just for me - or does cars "disappear" like when there's a heavy turn and such? I dunno if it's supposed to, but it seems like it isn't on your fella

    Oh, by the way, how did you make rail-road-bridges? Afaik, you can't connect ground-leveled rail with the "bridge" one (forgot the name - the one which you can connect to subways with).
