I was thinking starvation, due to food deserts in the too-big suburbs. (lots of roads, so I’m not sure what cleanup time would look like. I guess with good prioritization maybe folks could get groceries along the highways?)
Ah yeah, that makes sense. However, if all roads are fully jammed, most people would be able to walk to a grocery store - it’s likely not insanely far away from you (quick search suggests average straight-line distance to a grocery shop in the US is ~4 km = 50 min, which sounds very far away from a non-US perspective but still not completely unreachable), it’s just that usually there’s a highway full of traffic between you and the store.

Or like a 10-15 min bike ride, probably use the pavement or go off road until the spikes are cleared up
