The picture depicts a traffic pile up going into Ports of Spain. Just like many major cities of the world Port of Spain is not immune to the congestion that comes with urbanization. Commuters face this problem everyday as they make their journey into the capital for work, school, business or pleasure. This traffic is the result of the vast amounts of vehicles from across the island coming into the capital. Also the narrow roadways may not be able to accommodate number of cars moving in and out. Added to this, the amount of traffic lights should be increased to regulate the flow.

Traffic congestion, pile up, whatever it may be called is a major problem in even the so called first world cities and not just confined to our small island city. Check this out: http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2013/05/04/worst-traffic-cities/2127661/
