Whoahh...the traffic..it's getting worst nowadays. And just this afternoon, the usual 7 to 10 minutes drive from my place to Rumailah took about 45 minutes. I took what i thought was a short cut going back home but...it has to be regretted later. Finally, i was not able to report for my overtime...ahhhhh.

Is "when there's police, there's the traffic build up"...after all true??

I got stuck in it today as well. didn't move from my spot for over 30 minutes near civil defense roundabout.

anyone know how long the cycling tour lasts---or what hours of the day it runs? I want to be sure to hide in my house at those times.

I was just about to post a thread, asking if anybody else had noticed that traffic had been better the last couple of weeks!

Doha traffic will move at snails pace if all the groceries and other small shops in the residential areas are gonna close down. Everyone will be running to the malls or will we get a new grocery home delivery service. Have to wait and see.

I think it was the cycling. I've been thanking God every day for the last ten days for the great traffic.
