Traffic, what a horrible word. I can’t even think of how to put a positive spin on traffic unless you just love listening to music in your car, because that’s about the only thing you can do while chilling in your car for extended periods of time. Last night… I landed at the airport at my typical 645… get to my car… I expected to be home around 715… man was I wrong when I realized they had closed off a major 3 lane freeway at 7:00 PM due to construction and were making everyone exit the freeway (3 lanes went down to 1).
About a mile before the construction, when there was a lot of traffic, I see several people exiting. This is where I fall into my typical conundrum, because I cannot see how much further the traffic goes, I always tend to think, maybe its just over this next hill. However, that always seems to be the wrong assumption because every time I get to the top of the hill, its all traffic until the next hill.
8:15 rolls around… I finally get home, an hour after my expected time. Who hasn’t had this happen? What if I had been pregnant (assuming I was a woman)?
Anyways, all in all, I believe there needs to be some kind of web site posting that notifies people when and where large construction events will be taking place. It should be the construction company’s responsibility to have someone post where and when construction will be happening at least one week in advance. This way I could check the site every Monday… and then I would not have any problems because I could always figure out a way around it.
