Traffic and Expressway Congestion

Posts report heavy traffic congestion at multiple expressway interchanges and exits across Sri Lanka, particularly during holiday and weekend travel periods. Multiple locations are mentioned including the Southern Expressway, Outer Circular Expressway, and Central Expressway.

Our expressways have more "entrance" and "exit" warnings than actual exits—it's like the roads are playing hide-and-seek with drivers during every holiday. Meanwhile, the Perahera gets a security plan but the Southern Expressway gets a strongly worded tweet asking everyone to "drive safe" like that's ever stopped anyone from treating the Mattala exit like a demolition derby.
