WTF is up with traffic after daylight savings? I'm not sure if this is nationwide but it seems like my commute times nearly tripled since. What is normally a 15min commute takes me nearly 1hr now. It'll be worse if I drive the car since I won't be able to use the HOV lanes here.

/rant I was just wondering if traffic was like this elsewhere in the US?

 

your right its nation wide.. i used to travel 15 minutes now 35 minutes, and sux coz this week ive been always late. hehehe, damn *** hats on the freeway.

 

Florida is a **** can traffic state also haha

 

Sun delaaaaaays

I'm on the road by 6AM and going home around 5PM. No too much sun around then. I just wish these Barneys would adjust their clocks or something.

 

i am going to have to say that because it is dark people are driving slower. i dont get on the freeway but my side street activity is slowed.

wait, did you just say barneys??

i think i might start using that

 

to go along with all the bike talk in this thread:

 

^^^heh, I guess you haven't gotten your crotch rocket yet?

 

Traffic=WACK

Yesterday, it took me 1hr 35mins to go from near LAX (Los Angeles Airport) to Carson (near IKEA).. which is about.. 8.5 miles !!!! WTHMF ?!!?!?!? so, I averaged 5.6mph, the entire way home. Who cares if it was halloween, thats still 4king riduculous...

 

yea, well im sorry but going from LAX to carson durning rush hour is a bitch no matter what time of year.

 

Carson, mmmm Jollibee....

Then maybe they're driving slower 'cause it's dark out?

Or maybe the traffic lights are on non-peak time or something.

 

My commute (San Gabriel Valley --&gt; ocean) still takes about the same total time.

 

well my 1.5mi commute still takes me only 5 min. HAHAHAHAHA

 

LAX -&gt; Long Beach tomorrow. Which way would be the 'not worse'? Decisions, decisions.

Running over Herb in the process.

Hahaha, you are in time for all the fun! They are shutting down a few streets and part of the 105 freeway near LAX because Bruce Willis is shooting yet another "Die Hard" movie in the area.

 

Simply horrible traffic in NOVA.

Old Keene Mill Road-horrible
495-horrible
295-horrible
Overlook Ave. in DC-horrible
Traffic at Bolling AFB exit-horrible

Yesterday took me 1hr 10mins for 18 miles

in all seriousness if you dont like riding between lanes, you should just go to PCH and roll that down to the LB. even though PCH is a highway the pace on that road is far slower and more relaxed. plus the scenery is delightful this time of year.

It was good times, I blinked and it's Monday already, and I'm back in NoVA. I'd send you some pictures, but your rejected *** phone won't accept, so...

Yeah, we drove around...through Garfield, maybe?

 

My commute still takes 15 minutes one way - give or take. Around 12 miles, from Mid-City DC to Falls Church VA.

 

Traffic has gotten noticeably worse since the time change.. Commuting to and from Lake Forest every day has extended another 10 -30 minutes depending on the day and if there is an accident. Halloween was terrible

 

Yeah Halloween traffic sucked donkey *****. I've noticed as people get used to the time, traffic is slightly better. I'm still getting used to riding home in the dark. Normally I'm sportin the tinted visor but ain't no mo'.
