Always be prepared, 24 hours is a long time, and real hell if it is summer or winter.

36 lanes???!!!! Aye Carumba!
A nearby highway has at least 8 lanes running at once.
Just that amount of gridlock makes me feel like I’m drowning .

Holy cow.
That’s insane. I can’t imagine being on a road like that and I have driven in Cairo with no problem.

From the article:

The unusually long queues were caused by millions of locals returning home after a national holiday, which spans across eight days from October 1 to October 8.

I’m not a traffic engineer but 36 lanes to 4 might be a problem.

From the article:

“I always keep an empty tin can in my car just in case!”

Next time, bring a couple 5-gallon buckets.

No place to pee either.

I bought a gizmo for my wife, and carry it in the car. Allows a female to pee into a bottle with no spills. Learned to prepare for traffic jams while traveling when our young granddaughter had to relieve herself, used a ziplock baggie then.

The opposite direction traffic seems fine. It pays to commute contra flow.
