Except on the Garden State Parkway, where you're actually
parked, just wishing you were driving.

Sounds very much like the M25 around London - often referred to as
largest car park in the UK

I live very close to the busiest bit of the M25 (Surrey/Heathrow section)
and we refer to it as a rotary car park.

Having said that, my wife and I drove from New Hampshire to JFK Airport in
New York in the summer and the last 10 miles made the M25 look like Brands
Hatch or Silverstone. It took 3 hours and we were told that that is
perfectly normal on a Sunday.

Makes me quite glad to be up here where the only "hectic" time is when
the ferry is due to arrive. Sometimes there are as many as 7 or 8 cars
waiting in the queue.

Is that the one with the interchange described in
the book _good_omens_ as "a prayer wheel to satan"?
(or maybe that was _sympathy_for_the_devil_..)
