What is parking like at the neighborhood mosque during Kurban Bayramı?

Probably you didn't wake up asking yourself this question, and neither did I. I woke up to horns honking obnoxiously on a Saturday morning. Of course, it's not just any Saturday morning. It's the first day of Kurban Bayramı, the Feast of the Sacrifice. So, the one road leading to the mosque was packed like this:
That middle row is also parked cars.
Apparently, some people wanted out, and that wasn't going to happen on their personal schedule. After much honking, and some shouting, the cars in the middle started backing out. About 15 minutes later the scene changed to:
Movement at last!
Still stuck on this side
Until, finally, it returned to normal:
Ahhhhhh.....
