Icon2 ##### WRUW Thurs Sep 13 ? #####

some genius scheduled road work starting at rush hour that reduced a major cross-city boulevard from four lanes to one and a half......TRAFFIC! but, hey, more time to take pictures, right?

here are a couple angles from this morning.

what about you?

Morning Cru.

One and a half lanes,eh? Should have suited you down to the ground if you've still got the Smart!

As ever I'll go with this...

hey mark, good morning! lovely photo you got there.

even a smart is powerless against buses, delivery trucks and 1,000,000 scooters trying to squeeze into barely more than a lane.
