With that many ramps, heaven help you if there's tipsy driver coming from an office party.

Funny, I haven't seen any traffic jams in about a year. When I go out by car, there's hardly anyone else on the road.

This is my street with smoke haze from the fires a couple of summers ago.

NYC traffic came back since at least October of last year.

SoCal traffic started coming back in early April - now it's back to its normal congested condition

Is that Vic or NSW. The power line poles seem to be round and wooden.

That's a nice looking road. My guess is that this wasn't taken recently.

10 years ago in a few weeks. I bet it will look very much the same time this year beginning of June!

I was from SA. Melee trees are not much for power line poles. Hanse the Stobie pole.

Yup, That's a great thing about these forest roads: they have such a nice mystical yet optimistic feeling in early spring.
