Kyiv traffic gets nutty
Yesterday I got stuck in maddening traffic jam on the way to the city center, and most of the cars were trying to get out! My taxi driver gave a substantial reasonsing list (he had the time in traffic to think it up) end of year graduation, Rada’s last meeting for the year, end of business quarter, beginning of four-day weekend! Poor coppers were waving their stripy sticks in wane and people climbing on top of each others’ car ignoring the traffic lights, driving on opposite and on pedestrian lanes. Never seen so many bored Ukrainian faces at once.
Little Miss Moi also had a say about this on her blog.
