I tend to agree with PG, can't see any other suitable candidates other than zapping the bus. Solved in 45 mins!

This does show how not to used a hashed junction. It also illustrates that one driver can dramatically alter the flow of the traffic. So keep your wits about you and if in a jam, moving forward or backward could help free up the whole thing.

The real challenge is finding the idiot who caused this gridlock in the first place!
