Yeah, we have those in Arizona, too. This lineup of backed up semis was on I-10 between Phoenix and Tucson; the holdup was a whale of a pileup ahead - police, medical choppers, overturned cars, etc. There was nothing I could do about it, and the delay was for several hours until they evacuated the dead and injured and cleared the debris. This lineup stretched for several miles; couldn't see the end of it.

That's Picacho Peak in the background. The only Civil War battle in Arizona was fought near it.
