- lucb1e 13y agoIt's like a traffic jam. You can solve it by stopping the incoming cars at the ramp or by making the road wider, but both are outside of your control when you're just running the toll gates at some point ahead. You can only ask your "host" to do that (in this example, the owner of the road).
