Rush hour on Kalnciema street | Sastrēgums Kalnciema ielā



Kalnciema streets leads part the way from Riga centre to the airport, it is one of most congested Riga streets in rush hours. It's built-up however is rather old and romantic than urban - mostly there are nice wooden houses. In the distance in this photo also much more urban and modern sight of Z-Towers highrises is visible. At the day last week when I took this photo, the worst traffic jams were in Riga centre - for the first 45 minutes I got forward only by 300 metres... And it took me an hour just to get out of the centre. Of course, it's nothing in comparison to rush hours in world's largest cities but in relatively small Riga, that's quite crazy. At least it was the longest traffic jam in Riga I have been in.

Kalnciema iela ved daļu no ceļa no Rīgas centra uz lidostu un tā ir viena no satiksmes noslogotākajām pilsētas ielām sastrēgumu laikā. Tās apbūve gan vairāk ir sena un romantiska, nekā urbāna - pārsvarā jaukas koka mājiņas. Tālumā šajā foto atpakaļskata spogulī redzami arī krietni modernākie un urbānākie Z-torņi. Dienā, kad uzņemts šis foto, baisākie sastrēgumi gan bija pašā centrā - pirmās 45 minūtes uz Hanzas ielas tiku uz priekšu vien par pārsimts metriem, un kopumā izkļūšana no centra prasīja stundu. Rīgā tik ilgu sastrēgumu vēl nebiju pieredzējis.
