What does the photograph definitely tell me?
The photo shows an urban area and there is heavy traffic congestion.  The quality of infrastructure is okay.

What other ideas can I infer from the photograph?
The air quality is not very good and we think that driving is one of the important mode of transport. Also, we infer that traffic is not managed properly.

What does the photograph not tell me? What other questions do I want to ask?
Is the reason to traffic congestion  due to peak hour?
Are all the areas also have traffic congestion?
Is this a developed country?

- it does not tell me if this scene is common or only during peak hours

- is the government stepping in enough to improve the road conditions/facilities?
