The image displays a multi-lane highway in Sandton, South Africa, exhibiting heavy traffic congestion. The view is from inside a vehicle looking forward through the windshield, which shows minor specks. A circular, dark-colored air freshener or ornament hangs from the rearview mirror, partially obscuring the lower left portion of the view. A blue overhead road sign in the upper left indicates "124 SANDTON" and "M60 Marlboro Dr" with an arrow pointing left, confirming the location and upcoming exit. In the immediate foreground, a grey Volkswagen SUV with license plate "CK 57 DV GP" is stationary in the left lane, its brake lights illuminated. To its right, in the middle lane, is a white SUV with a rear-mounted spare tire, also stationary. In the right lane, a white hatchback or small SUV with license plate "LJ 17 LC GP" is stationary, its brake lights illuminated. The highway extends into the distance, densely packed with various vehicles including cars, SUVs, trucks, and a white bus, all appearing stationary or moving at an extremely slow pace. Rows of tall streetlights with multiple fixtures line the highway median and shoulders. The sky is overcast with patches of yellowish-orange light visible through the clouds, suggesting either sunrise or sunset conditions. Green foliage is present on embankments and alongside the highway, with distant urban structures visible on the horizon.
