Imagine, traffic so atrociously crowded that cars cannot reasonably get through town. The solution? Build a subway system to alleviate traffic! But during the 4 years of construction, the already crowded traffic will be detoured down 2-lane roads and make transportation even a bigger nightmare than it was before a "solution" was hit upon.
Sadly, this is the main road through Bamboo Forest. It has been torn up. And just about every road in town either looks like this or is a crowded detour road for cars trying to avoid the construction.
I have been in Bamboo Forest for three years now, and it has pretty much looked like this the whole time I have been living here -- in fact, it is getting worse! Getting across town is almost impossible. Trauma comes to those who try. It seems it will never end. Someday, presumably, we'll have a lovely subway system and all the annoyance will fade into our memories. But for now, we have chaos, mayhem and short-circuited nerves.
