What's wrong with getting stuck in Buffalo jams. A person shouldn't be in a big hurry to get anywhere in the Park, especially if they are planning on a week or so of sightseeing. Sit back and enjoy all that nature presents and be thankful you are in a place that allows you to do so.
I didn't mind the "animal jams" where the animals were actually right in or near the road (because no one wants to hit an animal the size of an elk), nor did I mind when folks pulled off at any of the pull offs to take pictures or pull out spotting scopes, but there were some incredibly stupid folks who would stop and get out of their cars to get way too close to animals in the road (let's go pat that buffalo), or who would just stop in the middle of the road to look at some speck WAY OFF in the distance (is that a wolf, I think it's a bear, no, it's a...). Add that into the long entry jams, and the construction jams, and it got to be wearing. If you're looking at something that isn't obstructing or threatening to obstruct the road, then pull off the road.
Plus, we saw a whole lot of people get pulled over for speeding, when they say 35, they mean 35. We took our time through Yellowstone.
Edited to add that when we go back to Yellowstone, we will stay in the park, maybe at fishing bridge for a night or two to refresh batteries, etc, but certainly would move around within the park.
