It is announced beforehand which streets are blocked, so I try not to move around that region because it's too exhausting to be stuck in a traffic jam due to these circumstances. However, two years ago, when I just came back after meeting my father at the train station, we decided to rent a taxi to go home. I didn't expect that on that day and at that hour, there was a concert of big stars near the area where we were. We were just stuck in a traffic jam. Our taxi driver was an experienced person who tried to avoid it by taking other small streets, but it always led back to the main road. We were stuck for almost 2-3 hours. While we were stuck, we chatted, listened to music, and scrolled through social media. I tried to find out what happened while our road was shut down. I also realized that the road was closed for some work being done on that part of the road. Unfortunately, we were stuck for almost 3 hours.
