This 4 or 6 legged tall machine standing folded at the roadside, will gracefully pick up your car above the traffic, and take you either to the opposite lane, if you decide your sick and tired of this direction, or can slowly take you off the road and put you at the next (or last) exit.
If the machine
is manually powered there could be a kiosk selling ice cream in summer and hot soup in winter (Kosher, if in Israel) so people could cool down after the long wait, before driving on.
The machine could also have long arms to pass goods to car passengers who are missing something but do not want to be removed from the traffic jam.
An aerial picture of the road and text saying what the problem is, could be used as advertising space when no traffic jam is available.

What happens when there's also a huge wait for the car remover? |
|
| |
Can it be used as a car flinger? |
|
| |
Can I remove the cars in front of me? |

Dont think of it as a solution for being stuck in a car jam, (for that you need PRT) think of it as a business... |

So you're saying lets increase road capacity by placing cars on suspended platforms that move them to the next exit. Why all the complexity? Why not simply build another lane? Or a double decker highway? Why do you need a machine to place cars on the opposite lane? Why not just leave a grassy lane in the middle that cars can use for u-turns? sorry, fishbone. |

Beacause a giant mechanical car-carrying polyped would be cool. |
