SS: Traffic

I had to go to Garden Grove today for a meeting, which is a 60 mile drive. It took me 2.5 hours to get there. To get back home, it took me 3.5 hours. I was gonna shoot myself. I freaking spent 1/4 of my day driving.

Traffic for us in Wisconsin (Most Parts Anyway) is getting stopped for a two minute red light.

I feel your pain. I forgot what traffic was, with living in the same city I work in, but yesterday I had to go to Mission Hills, right about at the 118, I thought I was going to go crazy....I wanted a big car so I could just roll over people....I hate freeways. Especially those with alot of traffic on them.

where i grew up in michigan, there was never traffic to speak of. even in lansing, unless there was a major accident, traffic wasn't an issue.

now, i sometimes spend almost an hour driving 15 miles home from work.

The 118 isn't bad. It's the freaking 405.

Yeah I do agree, the only time its really backed up is mainly during an accident major or minor. These cops can take an hour or so to clear a little accident, and dont even ask how long it takes for a major one. They walk around as though they have no clue where to even begin. The real traffic "jams" if they can even be called that is right around 5:30-6:00 at night, but thats about it.

yeah i've actually never really had much traffic on the 118, but the other day I ended up just on the wonderful 405 for my trip, and got off right at the 118.
