Drivers in Texas Go Wrong Way to Escape Traffic [VIDEO]

Traffic jams are frustrating. You're stuck in your car, barely moving, and all you want to do is get home. But in Irving, Texas, some drivers recently took things a little too far. Instead of waiting in a long line of cars, they decided to turn around and drive the wrong way up a highway entrance ramp. All just to get out of traffic faster.

This happened during a very busy time of day, when many people were on the road. The traffic wasn’t moving at all. So, some drivers got tired of waiting and thought it would be a good idea to back up or turn their cars around and go in the opposite direction, even though the ramp was meant for cars entering the highway, not leaving it.

Video captured from nearby shows a stream of cars slowly creeping up the ramp, headlights facing the wrong direction, as they attempt to flee the jam. While no accidents were reported during the incident, the behavior highlights a troubling trend that transportation experts say is becoming more common: drivers choosing risk over patience.
