My memories of Colombia in 2008 were montain roads that were sweeping and mainly clear. They're like a carpark now. What's happened ??

I remember both in 2009: wide open, empty mountain roads, and others completely clogged with soot-belching trucks moving remarkably slowly. The worst truck traffic I can ever remember experiencing was in Colombia somewhere between Bogotá and Ibague. Second worst was a two-lane headed south out of Budapest, with some runners-up in South Asia and Vietnam. YMMV.
