The ribosomal exit tunnel in the 50S subunit.
Macrolides block the path for the nascent peptide chain, which usually won't pass the antibiotic.

Die MACRO-Welt
|
|
|
The Homer Tunnel in New Zealand (South Island).
Just imagine you're in the middle of a dark, wet and not really straight tunnel and a bus (or truck) is coming at you.
Well, you won't really block the tunnel but hope to find one of the few gaps to let the Bus pass (which usually has to drive in the middle of the tunnel). |

(Ok, this is a faked image, we had luck, both times.)
