The title is a quote from Adventures in Dubai.
Here's my whinge of the day.
The nightmare of the National Paints Roundabout in Sharjah is no more.
It's been replaced with a marvelous flyover interchange. Only problem is that chaotic clusters of vehicles are parked on the exit and on ramps where, barring an accident, traffic flies by - or could, were it not for the congestion created.
Why are they parked there? Because the new interchange provided no way to access existing retailers located by the ramps. And, besides, the retailers themselves provide no parking.
Those who park in the roadway inconvenience and endanger their fellow human beings - all for the convenience of popping into a shop for cigarettes and a Red Bull.
UPDATE: A Gulf News reporter sacrifices 1 hour and 40 minutes in traffic to bring us this report from the new Sharjah interchange.
