absolute chaos on the roads of Amman
We have heard all about the plans to reduce chaos on the roads but it seems no action. Today was just unbelievable with a friend of mine stuck in her car for two hours for a ten minute trip home. The police and municipality HAVE got to do SOMETHING. Drivers are just acting in the most uncivilised and impolite manner by blocking roads without thinking of anyone else. Can't they wait 2 minutes to let people through? Where is the legendary Jordanian politeness? Gone out of the window when they get in a car it seems. And I seem to spend my time shouting at people coming down roads the wrong way. Does ANYONE obey the law here???? and does anyone care???
I can sit at the traffic lights and watch the cars going by me and can guarantee that about 90% are breaking the law in some way. The only way to get people to obey the law is to stop and fine them and it should be for large amounts as well.
WHEN are the police going to get their act together?? Heaven help us in the coming months if nothing is done. T

hahahaha. Im sorry for laughing, but i guess im just reminded of all the stories my parents came back with when they came back from their trip to JOrdan this summer, driving around in taxies. sorry about that.
well .you said it LEGENDARY JORDANIAN POLITNESS.
Driving in jordan and during the summer is sheer torture,thursdays are the worst.walking is out of the question,taxis are the last choice,you're going to be jammed in traffic anyway,so be jammed in ur own car.
driving+Summer heat= impolite uncivilized drivers.
police can do nothing..they are busy ticketing west amman females,7arkesh wala 7araj ;)
و بقولو السواقة فن و ذوق و اخلاق
و الحمد لله التلات مواصفات غير موجودة
