Traffic, Oy The Traffic

I'm not alone complaining about the traffic. It's so common for there to be traffic jams on the road north of Jerusalem. It can add quite a lot of time to the trip home. Sometimes almost the entire way from the "city line," aka Hisma machsom until the Adam Junction is full of sitting and "crawling" cars.

When the road start getting jammed, the Adam security road is sometimes opened for some vehicles, including the bus. We, the lucky ones, then go by at a normal speed, while the cars on the main road crawl.

Sometimes there's even a real reason for the back up, like a traffic accident.
