Makes you realize getting around by car has never been the most efficient form of travel no matter the width of a lane or roadway.

Congestion is always a thing caused by cars themselves.

Ha. What a hilariously outdated concept of sitting in "traffic" in a car that burns mined byproduct for energy.

Good thing we realized DECADES ago that designing life around cars and roads was wildly inefficient and against human health and growth; but instead, we invested in great city planning and public transportation.

Could you IMAGINE this picture from over half a century ago still representing problems we face in modern life? 🫠🫠🫠

    The thing i noticed from this photo is the relatively high number of cars with 2+ people.

    And zero window tinting.

    I don't know, man. Looks a little lightweight for Toronto traffic.

    Also, back before unleaded gas and modem emissions... Engines had to run a touch rich. Can you imagine the smell?!
