And to them, this is normal. Nuts. And it's "Russian Federal highway Moscow city - Yakutsk City" not North Bay! :lol:

Quote:This is Russian Federal highway Moscow city - Yakutsk City, named “Lena”, nowadays.

The road doesn’t have asphalt surface, though it is a Federal, vital highway.

Every time it rains the road gets paralyzed, these shots are made a few days before the traffic jam for 600 cars got stuck there. Hunger and lack of the fuel followed, according to the witnesses. One woman gave a born to a child right in the public bus she was riding.

Construction team afraid to appear on site because during their previous visit it was beaten by people who stuck in the jam for a few days. People breaking the locks on the trucks, in a search of food and warm cloths.

Fuel, food, firearms and steel tow-line are the things that are needed most these days on this Federal highway.

Then you find an appropriate means of travel that doesn't entail your sedan traversing 3 feet of mud. I thought common sense was independent of language or location?

I find it very ironic that Russian DOT should post a speed limit of 70 km/h on that road :D Федеральная трасса, твою мать... :angry:
