Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Common Interests Traffic Jam

Yup, it was kinda weird. I was pretty young, so I didn't understand everything that was going on, but there had to be a couple hundred people stranded on the bridge that day.

A few years ago I was on Southbound I-5 leaving downtown Seattle just before 5 PM on a Friday. At close to the same time, a semi spilled its load of lumber just south of Tacoma and the 2x4s blocked literally every southbound lane.

Finally got to Olympia by 11:30 PM. Most of 6+ hours to go 60 miles on a superhighway with clear weather and no contruction.

It's good practice for when an earthquake hits.

i spent 2 and a half hours on the bqe going to manhatten one night, normally it's a 15-20 minute ride.

Longest i've ever been in traffic was 4 hours or so, on thanksgiving going to long island.

I'll bump this, since my other thread isn't really about jams...

this winter 95 south was backed up for 5 hours during a storm. I had the Forester, and luckily wasn't on 95. I took back roads to the KoP mall and ripped it up in the parking lot in 6 inches of snow AWD baby!!!!
