Paris Traffic
Traffic is bad here most all the time, night and day. And the streets are so complicated and convoluted that even the locals don’t always know the best way to get from one place to another.
So traffic-related technology is used pretty heavily in Paris (and other European cities, from what I’ve been told), much more so than back in the United States. Below are a couple of photos I took today: a shot of the real-time display of traffic conditions that sits in the lobby of my hotel, and a shot of the GPS unit in the cab that took Jeff and me back to the hotel this evening. Nearly all the cabs have GPS units in them here, but you still rarely see them in the US.
For some more pictures from today, check out my work blog.
