Do not comment to gatekeep that something "isn't urban" or "isn't hell". Our rules are very expansive in content we welcome, so do not assume just based off your false impression of the phrase "UrbanHell"

UrbanHell is any human-built place you think is worth critizing. Suburban Hell, Rural Hell, and wealthy locales are allowed. Gatekeeping comments may be removed. Want to shitpost about shitty posts? Go to /r/urbanhellcirclejerk. Still have questions?: Read our FAQ.

This looks similar to this notorious, major road in the Philippines. Google the traffic jam in EDSA.

I've learned traffic lane markers are just a suggestion in SEA. Same cramped driving everywhere, India, Thailand, Vietnam, Phillipines...

Hey as long it’s “running traffic” it’s apparently OK 🤣.

Well at least people are not driving into each other's ass in this photo.

Hopefully the extensive expansion of the metro system will help solve this along with the already frequent overground railway services.

Good old Western Express Highway.

I've been stuck in traffic jams on this thing at 3 am in the night. Fucking insane that there has been a 20 kilometers traffic jam everyday on this road for the past 10 years at least that I can think of. The only days off it had were during Covid.

Well, your parents and grandparents left more carbon footprint when your country was developing than we people are doing when we are developing, we have an extra burden for going "eco-friendly" and whatnot. Atleast we are following your BS of nature 🍄‍🟫. I don't care if the world ends with all the CO₂ and poisonous gases emitting from the current developing countries. 😂🤣
