Tehran Traffic Jam

Its mine!:D

my car!!!!, faster than the others :D

U mean u're sitting on her shoulders?!
Poor girl, she may sue you for this ;)

It is our (my parents') old white Peugeot 405 ! :-)

Tehran (the capital city of Iran) is a very crowded city.
It's polpulation is more than 12 millions at work hours and 7 millions at night time.
I don't know the number of autos in Tehran streets, but from my friend's source, about 3 millions car are now driven in Tehran!
Here is "Vali-e Asr" street, shoot from top of "Parkway" bridge, at sunset time.
The background mountains are northern mountains of Tehran, where our home is placed on!
Check the map for more geographic info.

God how I hated the traffic in Iran, but atleast you couldn't get into a serious accident like you could on the open highway. Why do people have such a hard time of staying within the lanes. It's not such a hard concept.

I miss Tehran's traffic so much ....
the nice smell of the exhaust gases, the melodious sound of car horns, the nerved people shouting at each other, and the crazy taxi drivers of course
:-)
I mean it's much more pleasant to see it on a picture, thanks !

This is nice shot and says a lot about Tehran!
I got rid of its traffic by leaving there for 3 weeks ;)
Traffic is a big problem but the main issue is the air pollution which causes by so many car engines!

Thank you all my dear friends.

@ghedo I've visited the CM website, are you a bike rider or a manager there?

@wans2pics: Thanks for your kindness and invitation, it's done!

@medfly2: It's now far better than years ago. Specially i could say that the driving culture is now well formed in most youth and some prev drievrs...

@3ven: تو هم كه ماشالا كم نمياري هيچ وقت، ضمنا اين روز جوان قلابيه، روز ملي جوان كه به تأييد مجلس هم رسيده، هشتم ارديبهشته، مصادف با روز تولد سرور كائنات

@zendegi: I think you can make some love poems for exhuast and damn horns.... You are a great man, i like the way you see the life :)

@Hooman: بيكار شدي يه سر بمير! بعد عمري تو يه كامنت واسه يكي از عكساي ما گذاشتي، اونم مخاطبش يكي ديگس؟

@Nidriel: What is great?!

When you repeat this scene on a massive scale worldwide - whether your view point is a peak oil perspective or concern about climate changing emissions the implications and corresponding urgent imperative for socio-cultural transition towards a sustainable future is compelling.
