Five Became A Hundred

Caught in a crawl for 100 minutes at MRR2. Somebody must have crashed or collided with another, or worse, several other. Then at 9.50, when I arrived to the end of the jam, I realized that for 3 official lanes and 1 illegal lane (read: 4 lanes) to merge into 2 lanes is bad enough, wait till you see it merge into 1 lane. The middle lane is completely blocked by this short crane which broke down in the middle of rush hour.

What usually seems to be a 5 minute jam for the whole of last year, became a 100 minute crawl, just by blocking another lane. And guess where is the strategic location of the breakdown? The notorious part just after the Pandan overpass, where the 3 lanes merge into 2.

Gotta get rid of these leg cramps. It's been a while since I'm caught in these types of timewasting jam.
