Long Drives and Traffic

The other day, I made the mistake of leaving on the worst day for traveling by car: the Sunday following Thanksgiving. You see, I am originally from Long Island, New York and am close to my family. However, , I currently live in North Carolina, which means that I must make the long, and sometimes arduous trip by car to go home to see my family. Typically, in a span of one year, I will make the trip to New York from North Carolina at least four times. At the end of the year, I can say that I have easily driven an extra four thousand miles (not including mileage for driving around when I am actually home in New York) on my vehicle.

If you are like me and make long road trips on a fairly regular basis, then chances are that you have probably sat through some pretty horrendous traffic jams. Well, no other traffic jam was quite as bad as the one that I had to sit through this past time around launch crp129. Traffic was so bad, that at one point, people were backing heir cars up on the exit and entrance ramps to get onto the highway. Ironically, when I was traveling back to North Carolina, the two spots that I had absolutely no problem with driving-wise was when I drove through Washington D.C. and when I drove through New York City.

One would like to think that when you are trying to drive out of Long Island and through New York City to get to New Jersey that the traffic would be the worst of anywhere you had seen launch x431. However, quite the opposite was true. It was only when I reached New Jersey that I thought I was going to lose it. The worst part about being stuck in traffic is not knowing how long it is going to last. While I was sitting there in traffic in New Jersey, I did what every other person at that very moment was doing; I tuned my radio into the news to see if I could find out what the cause of this first major delay was. And do you know what their answer was to this question? The news report simply said that traffic was backed up due to “congestion”. I could have screamed at that very moment, but I didn’t. Instead, what I did to pass the time was I timed how long it took to drive four miles.

It took me almost two hours to drive ten miles by car. If that isn’t bad enough, the worst part was finally finding out what was causing the traffic to back up the way it was. As it turns out, the traffic was stalling because there was a merge in the road up ahead in which the traffic from the shoulder had to merge with the traffic that was already currently on the roadway. It really should have been a more seamless transaction. However, because there were so many people, and because so many of these people were reluctant to let other people in, the traffic started to back up quickly.

Imagine all of the trouble that we would save ourselves if we could just simply find another more efficient means for traveling from place to place.
