Default Holy WOW IC-5 Worst I've Ever Seen

IC-5, for the last hour, has been completely gridlocked. No accident, no breakdown, just people trying to cross the bridge in such a way that they blocked themselves in completely, nothing was moving. The police took a good 30 minutes just to get to the interchange, and it still isn't moving...have some pictures but they are too big to upload.

Thank god i live on this side of SZR...

Agree, have never seen it as bad as today!!!!

Was on my way to AUD, and had to cross across the sand (how big of fine could I get for that?) in order to make it to class.

When will the new interchange they're building open?

Yes i was worried you were going to get stuck in it, at its worst you could see the cars backed up way back into the villa communities, then the police came and sort of fixed it, but it still took a while before it started moving with any speed whatsoever.
