The Joy of Traffic

The distance from my house to the local shops is a little bit over 1km. Today, for most of this distance, traffic was virtually stationary. Every now and then each of the cars would shuffle forward maybe 10 metres. It wasn't even peak hour - but there was road work.

Anyway, as i walked along the footpath (at a greater speed than the traffic) i felt a little sorry for the people, spending their lunch hour trapped in their vehicle, watching their petrol gauges get closer to empty. If only they knew there was an alternative :)
