World's Worst Intersections & Traffic Jams

They should pay you to enter these interchanges

There is a difference between "going mental" and making mental calculations how to get out of this traffic mess... at least we hope there is.

And this is present day in Japan (does that make your heart beat faster?)








But here are a few more that definitely ask to be included into the
"Most Complex Junctions" Hall of Fame:

- Shanghai, China
(see that little circle on the side: this is a trap for amateur drivers, in which they swirl around forever)



- Taganskaya Square, Moscow
(shaped like a huge dumb loaf of bread... and just as unpalatable)







- Tokyo, Japan
(this one's actually quite elegant)

Looking like some strands of yarn: Rt. 440 in New Jersey
