The FAST Lane

Driving home this evening on the M1 I encountered a traffic jam (nothing strange really, happens everyday) and for some arb reason I had a thought. I asked myself "how on earth can the fast lane stop?"

Valid question if you think about it. The fast lane has no off-ramps, no robots (traffic-lights) and no stop streets. To effectively jam up the fast lane it would mean that the lanes end must have stopped.

The fastest lane on the highway has to be the emergency (taxi) lane. These guys rip down the emergency lane and block off ramps because they need to get past them.

Viva metro police, viva traffic police, viva South African law enforcement and excuse me while I vomit.
