    No it is not. There copies of cars everywhere. Looks like they just doubled everything horizontally.

      Classic you’re being downvoted by those with little internet common sense. The image is doctored and the patterns repeat frequently - you’re right.

      E: feel free to downvote me all you want, that won’t make you any less wrong

      Ehm, nope? You know that white and black/dark blue/dark greyish are the most prevalent car colors?

      Look at the trucks and minivans that are a bit more distinct. Their patterns with other white cars around do not repeat.

      Also the one in the picture only has 20 lanes. The US widest has 26 lanes

          The claim was that everything was copied horizontally, which is evidently not the case in the picture. Also as i have linked the widest “freeway” in the US has even more lanes.

          Thank you for posting the article. As you can read in the article they prove the fact that the image is altered by pointing out the number of lanes being wrong, not by “suspicious patterns” in the cars.

          The claim that the image was just doubled horizontally simply does not check out. There was more effort put into creating the fake.

            this is the one that jumped out at me. On closer inspection, it seems like the some of the traffic on the left side is headed away from the camera. And also, some of the shadows, again on the left side seem to be different to the rest. I’d guess that the left hand has been shopped more, with maybe minimal filling of thebright side.
