Morning Traffic

God im an so tired of living in LA!, there is way to many cars in the morning. I takes me 1 whole hour to get like a 15 miles away from where i live. Especially the 110 here in LA, i wish they could just move out of the way. Every morning is people doing stupid things on the freeway or the streets. Just today some a**h*** tried to get in front of me while i was like 6in from some truck in front, and was still cursing at me for it, oh also, at a stop light today, (all cars stoped, 2lane street) some moron comes from the opposite direction and manages to get in infront of every one and makes every one wait till he makes a right. I always get to work late because of this; not mattering what time i wake up to get ready.

Re: Morning Traffic

i know what ya mean...sorta. i drove to school every day last year and traffic totally sucked most of the time. 20 minute drive in the middle of the day turned into around a 40 minute drive on a good day. not as bad as LA, but cleveland traffic does suck.

of course now morning traffic consists of stumbling accross campus...gotta love college

To get 18 miles takes me an hour and a half. Its not fun toting jetskis around. Me and my cousin started a business of buying/fixing and reselling jetskis. He works on em I trailer em. The worst part is having to take to school to make deliveries and pick ups. People just don't know how to friggin drive.... Manuevering threw crowded streets and parking lots what makes it take forever. If I go to school no trailer it is 15 minute drive. Trailers are not allowed on the parkways so I need to take surface streets and people are just pompus assholes and wont let you in and so on. Its even worse with a truck and stock trailer.

Re: Morning Traffic

my morning traffic isn't that bad considering the freeway is completely out of the way. I travel 13 miles on surface streets to get to University of Arizona. It takes me only 25-35 minutes in the a.m., but 40-60 min in the afternoon (plus a 7 to 10 minute walk each way). My biggest obsticle is the high scholl that i have to pass. It can back up traffic for 1.2 miles on my odo.

Re: Morning Traffic

/\ Batstard!
It takes me 30 mins to drive to school or work (both convinently within 1 min walk from eachother)
But it takes me 1 hour bus ride, no one gives way to the buses, no wonder why people prefer to drive than use public transportation.
I honestly dopn't mind the morning traffic all that much, because everyone is grumpy and just wants to get to where they are going FAST, I blend right in!

I drive into the Quincy Adams T garage on Thursdays and a normal time of 5 minutes to get there stretches out to a 15-20 minute crawl. and not only is traffic on the highway slow, but the T has delays constantly...blah...

Re: Morning Traffic

I live in the LA area myself, so I know what jmrev is talking about. I'm actually pretty lucky tho, traffic is always real heavy going opposite my direction. I take a look at the 60 freeway and see nothing but cars stacked up on one another going west, towards LA. The same thing for the 605 freeway. The 605 going south is murder, but going north (the way I go) isn't too bad. Takes about 10 minutes to travel 8 miles for me in the mornings.
