I've seen this at ground level and it's even more mental there! Thanks for posting this, it's hilarious and it brings back great memories!

Bel embouteillage autour de l'arc de triomphe de l'étoile. Un bus de la RATP encerclé dans les bouchons. Vidéo prise le 31 août 2006

OMG that is fricking outrageous. Next year my dad and I are going to Paris, I think we should stick to using the metro.

[@saladspinner3200]

I think the main problem that evening was that some sections of the circle were blocked of.

[@CYCY950]

Paris is a very old city which was established centuries before cars were invented. Like most of French cities.This said, on the main roads, and high speed highways, modern traffic standards are at the top. The French freeway network is the longest in western Europe.

[@raifilter6232]

Ehh... no. Todo porque es una rotonda gigantesca en la que confluyen 12 avenidas y tiene un montón de carriles sin líneas blancas pintadas en la calzada. La ciudad en sí no tiene forma de espiral ni nada parecido.

[@noefillon1749]

Why so many cars age forcing to pass quickely. They are just blocking more and more the situation. But... welcome to Paris.

[@Psgurl90069]

Love this vid. I've been to Paris 3x - the first time I went on a tour (never again) and we drag raced around the Arc in a tour bus (full of drunk people) dancing to the Macarena (hate that song). ROFL!

[@thewolfpoet]

This is what KZbin is all about!!! Awsome, funny vid!

[@rumco]

@Camarale: Not quite so, I've just visited Paris and seen at least half a dozen places where the traffic had to be regulated by the police and even then drivers just could not make it. Also, traffic light don't seem to mean anything as pedestrians get green but cars turning left/right seem to think they have precedence and happily run over people.

[@neillypilot]

I was there a year ago :) Our minivan go sidesiped by a bus and then pounded by a car from behind.

[@hughtub]

That bus is the problem, but WHERE THE HELL IS THE CENTER??

[@D2Newmanix]

WOW! Crazy!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@albertx46]

Why some keeps left, some keeps right? no lanes, no signs, no lights... what a chaos!

[@truejamworks]

Did that bus stay on schedule??? --Los Angeles resident

[@MonsterSandwich99]

THAT LOOKS SCARY. I NEVER WANT TO DRIVE THERE.

[@saladspinner3200]

That would be one of Napoleon's engineers.

[@559northerncali]

PUT UP FUKIN STREET LIGHTS!!

[@Dalianon]

very romantic...

[@signature90094]

The driving in paris is horrible, the streets are tiny and drivers don't respect any rules, everyone wants to go as fast as they can (so do i). Just look at the bus, everything is stuck, he could let some car passed and everything would be clear, but no... Paris traffic has nothing to envy to bangladesh traffic :d

[@calahan59]

it was 2000 years ago!

[@ttgn19]

unmarked police car at the beginning... lost in the middle of chaos, lol.

[@LMB222]

Where's the chaos? I can see a traffic jam.

[@blood117]

Walking is faster than this.

[@0pollution]

Pas sûr que je voudrais traverser cette rue, j'aimerais mieux regarder cela pendant 8 heures de temps

[@ophelieramboud]

no doubt

[@candygirl4711]

dont they have like trafic lights?

[@saladspinner3200]

@partydude9999 They have stoplights on that circle.

[@fricatus]

Priorité au plus fort!

[@noefillon1749]

En tout cas c'est pas comme ça qu'on règle le problème. Les gens font n'importe quoi, ils ne pensent qu'à eux et résultat ils bloquent encore plus tout le monde il suffit de bien regarder, il y a beaucoup trop de voitures qui essayent de forcer le passage. Mais c'est pas nouveau à Paris.

[@dee8817]

wow is all I can saw wow

[@saladspinner3200]

And that's how you ruin good city's.

[@pal2011]

@khew1 tell that to the person inside the ambulance stuck in that gridlock!

[@ajhare2]

Athey go thru were they are not suppost to drive haha

[@Thiccology]

LOL

[@donbenyimm1]

More like unorganized

[@dennymambo]

Absolutely fascinating... I like it. Deprive road users of lights, clear lanes and give way rules. That way they are forced to use common sense. This video seems to be an exception. Most others I have viewed show it trundling along fairly well. Go the French people, and their most interesting roundabout! :D

[@calahan59]

so funny :D :D :D

[@PalhetaFrita]

ahahahahahaha
