Crazy Rome traffic intersection - Piazza del Colosseo

Near the Colosseum on May 30, 2011. Traffic in Rome looks pretty chaotic but somehow it just works.

Some say that, to this day, that tram still has not moved.

*Welcome to the eternal city of eternal entertainment. This city is a giant arena. A giant Coliseum.*

[@turbowargen]

Must be frustrating for the tram driver to have to follow the tracks. Maybe this is what drivers in Rome need, a track that they are stuck on.

[@ariannacarli2677]

That is a common day in rome but after a while u get use to it

[@martingrahan1437]

I rented a car for rome worst nightmare ever, absolutely no place to park anywhere, traffic is complete chaos, dead ends everywhere, you never know if you are going in the right direction, the whole city is a maze.. plus the wife screaming at me to buy stuff at via del corso, most miserable and stressful vacation ever!

[@aldo396]

sempre caos e ingorghi .. se molti conducenti rispettassero di più il codice della strada ed i vigili fossero più severi, ritengo che tutto questo non succederebbe ..

[@Emily_Hurley]

Whoa.. is this when it is the most busy time of al, that you filmed this during...

[@videogiocatore3]

I can't deny it. That's how we do it. The roman way. Always proud.

[@berto1458]

Did it get better during lockdown?

[@rossd6809]

'just' is the operative word

[@danielefabbro822]

In the late years there was a lot of troubles in Rome. Past left administration's of the city left Rome almost in ruins. Today the city is recovering, but I think it will take some time to fix the traffic problem. Moreover, consider that this city is more than 2700 years old and basically the whole center is a sort of museum. We can't simply destroy things there and surely Roman's back in time did not planned and built many parking for modern days cars. 😏 So, deal with it. If you have to visit Rome. Don't rent a car, just use local public transport. I was able to visit easily the whole historical center of the city in 3 days of walking without hurrying. And I have also destroyed that pair of shoes but it was definitely worthy. Then just be suspicious about people that comes to you to sell stuff and you're fine. Scammers are everywhere in every cities. But normally they survive just with these innocent non malicious foreign tourists. So don't be innocent, be malicious.

why im watchin this..is a mistery

[@jasonervoes1326]

Did the police come to move that trams and đirect traffic ?

[@KlausJohannesRusch]

We didn't watch long enough to find out but I guess the traffic jam eventually cleared up by itself.

[@junkim1818]

no rules there

[@judesisland]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[@walterduarte1]

Putzz no Brasil tem um sistema muito pobre de engenharia de transito mas perto disso é muito bom.

[@angelobiazus]

A diferença, meu amigo, é que as cidades deles tem 2 mil anos de idade. Não vale a pena tu destruir metade da cidade para fazer um sistema rodoviário decente, o trânsito ruim é o preço a se pagar para manter a história do país viva. Aqui não temos cidades antigas e mesmo assim foi tudo feito de qualquer jeito.

[@mariusfer1]

ma allora non è una caratteristica solo di Napoli

[@davidghiro99]

Guarda sono Romano, e Napoli si può dire è la mia seconda casa, Perfettamente uguali, anzi, a Napoli leggermente peggio, non per il traffico, bensi per gli attraversamenti pedonali, ma basta prenderci la mano. Infatti se sai guidare a Roma o Napoli, puoi guidare ovunque haha, il trucco è buttarsi, il guidatore sarà costretto a fermarsii, o meglio rallentare fino alle tue gambe per poi ripartire a razzo😁🤣

[@filthyflank]

doesn't help that for every 15 cars you have fucking 40 meter tour bus.

[@romamegalopolis469]

firozfuryu That is not a bus but a tram, which travels on trucks just like a train does.

[@filthyflank]

Roma Megalopolis Fair enough, but forgetting the tram I counted at least 5 other large tourist buses coming to or through the intersection. Does that tram seem to be part of the problem? It would be ironic since mass transit is supposed to be a solution to traffic congestion. I guess this is what happens when you try to shoehorn modern infrastructure into a city that was never built for it.

[@BertRussie]

You call this crazy. Pffttt. *Laughs in Mumbai*
