this is my world, welcome to it
You just described the traffic situation here in wonderful Downtown Tidewater. It is a little lighter toward the western fringes. And lots heavier near the Naval Base in Norfolk. Lord help me I live in the center of Va. Beach.
This is why I work nights. To avoid the mob. Traffic is worst from 6a - 9a, then again from 4p -7p. there is always some fool who was trying to go 75 mph while everyone around him is going 40 mph. Big accident = big backup.
That said, all I do when stuck is open my windows and listen to the music and "Go With the Flow". Keep stress at bay. If I get the opportunity to use intelligent driving I will, but usually it is just stop & roll & stop & roll, etc, ad infinitum.
I've lived near;
NYC = bad traffic
DC = bad traffic
Here = bad traffic
You learn to adjust. Make the best of it.
Abba goo dai,
