And you thought traffic is bad these days! This is a shot of congestion at the Verrazano Bridge a day after its opening.
The caption to this super cool photo reads:

Thousands of cars clog the Belt Parkway on November 22, 1964, as they attempt to cross the Verrazano Narrows Bridge which opened November 21st. The cars are in the westbound lane moving inch by inch as they wait to cross from Brooklyn to Saten Island on the largest bridge in the world.
