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

  You sound insufferable and also you’re wrong.

    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.

  In the original there are definitely suspicious repeating and mirrored patterns.

      Image 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.

    Go count them for yourself (or just search Katy Freeway into Google maps and turn on satellite view if you don’t want to click this link)

    The number of lanes is insane

      Oh for sure.

      But reality is different than this obviously photoshopped image.

        Oh my apologies, I thought we were talking about the number of lanes.

        Yeah the traffic here looks photoshopped, though, I’d be willing to bet there are times where this freeway almost looks like this*
