Gadling had a nerve wrecking story yesterday on a nine-day, 62-mile traffic jam in China. Here is an excerpt:
Before you start the commute home for the day, consider how bad the traffic could be. Sure, you could get stuck behind a bus or on the train for an hour or so, but how about 9 DAYS?! Thousands of motorists have been stranded on the Beijing-Tibet expressway since August 13th as a road work project has stopped up an already-busy road, and they could be stuck for another few weeks until the project concludes.

It dawned on me after reading this that Isla Palenque is going to lack any traffic. Island residents and guests will be able to drive through the jungles of Isla Palenque in their electric GEM cars with nothing to stop them. Well, there might be the occasional stop to watch an animal pass, but there won’t be anything near the frustration of urban traffic. It looks like the happiness in Panama is going to continue to thrive since the residents on the secluded island are going to be stress free. Being from an urban environment with some pretty bad traffic, the future island residents are already making me jealous!
