How bad is traffic where you live?

[JustinTheGreat]

Usually traffic isn’t too too bad but we’re having a situation 💀

There’s a bridge that needs repairs so they closed it to fix it. now with the detour, traffic is backing up really bad. A drive that usually takes 5 minutes is taking people 2 hours…

the detour

The traffic is so bad that we got one of those emergency alerts on our phone warning us to stay away from the area 😭

They even had to do online learning for the schools cause the school buses can’t get to kids on time.
they’re tryna figure out a way to fix the traffic but the bridge will apparently be closed for the next 3 months.

thankfully I don’t live in that city anymore and I don’t drive that way so I’m in the clear 😭 rip to everyone who does though.

People are making memes about it on Facebook and I was dying over them. Someone last night said “if you work in [city] in the morning, you better leave now” LMAOOO

Generally speaking, not bad at all.

Where I live, people don't realize how spoiled we are when it comes to how great out traffic is. Even when we have construction projects like the one where you live, it's not too bad.

I don't even want to think about how bad the traffic is in the New England Region of the USA. I'm actually surprised to hear the East Providence, Rhode Island Area doesn't usually have bad traffic, or, your definition of "not bad" is wayyy different than mine.

[JustinTheGreat]

I mean it’s “not bad” compared to bigger cities I’ve been to 😅
Like I’ve been caught in New York, Boston, and LA traffic. I’m just grateful that I don’t have to deal with that on a daily basis like they do.
But we have a lot of shitty drivers here so yes traffic can be bad here and there

[EnglishArtsteacher]

Got it.

I'm willing to beat East Providence, Rhode Island has worse traffic than where I live lol.

[CaptainSmartass]

It's OK. It can be a bit of a git during rush hour, or when there's roadworks. My town is near quite a few motorways, so if there are any issues, we get all the diverted traffic. Not to mention side streets near my work get filled up with lorries waiting to tip, most days.

Simples...

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Very bad.

Both at my hometown, Tbilisi

and the city I live currently, Shanghai.

Traffics are pretty bad.

That’s taken 2 days ago in Tbilisi, totally crazy.

[EnglishArtsteacher]

I'm an Uber Driver, and one of my passengers I regularly pick up is from Shanghai, China, and he told me it's the worst traffic in the world lol.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

It definitely is, once It took me 3 hours to get out of Shanghai with Taxi.

[EnglishArtsteacher]

That sounds awful.

[Apple1996]

Not bad at all. I live in the middle of no where. The only thing causing traffic is the Amish with their horse and buggy 🙄

[matchrestore]

I hate when the first car behind them doesn't try to pass them, just creating a huge backup

[Apple1996]

@matchrestore here it's usually the school busses since they won't speed up around them

[turnpost]

The worst traffic is in Istanbul Turkey, omg friggen people vans of traffic going steep up hil and down hill on stone ladden roads and on side walks. People budge through trucks as if its some sort of high school hallway.

[jennifer_bloom]

Where I live in Canada, it’s illegal to have kids under 13 unsupervised at home, so when teachers go on strike, parents have to take the day off work, unless they can find a daily babysitter on 24 hour notice.

[matchrestore]

I can make it to work in 3 minutes if I hit the first traffic light at the right time. There are parts of my city where traffic is pretty bad, but it's really easy for me to avoid them.

[purplepoppy]

Usually its quite light and even at rush hour you can do the speed limit. The only time it gets bad is around summer public holidays, especially if it's hot and the tourists flock to the beaches.

[slatyb]

It can be bad but it's rarely a problem as I walk to work. I have a short drive some evenings and typically it takes several minutes to drive the 6 blocks to the freeway entrance.

[petitedollbabee]

Not bad. Bridges only get packed at 3.30pm with people picking up their kids from schools, and 5pm with people finishing work. Other than those two times, all the roads move quickly.

[Anonymous]

it's beautiful now. For months, they had major roads closed here, and everyone trying to get to the highway had to take the same road. So my town of 50,000- or whatever was all driving on the same 2-lane road... and that sucked. Now we're all spread out and back to small-ish town driving life. :D

[mandyfire98]

My city has about 350,000 people in it so traffic can get a bit busy. Nothing like a huge city like new york or chicago obviously.

[EnglishArtsteacher]

Let me guess, you live in Anaheim, California?

[mandyfire98]

No. East Coast

[EnglishArtsteacher]

Tampa, Florida?

If not Tampa, the only other place I can think of is Corpus Christi, Texas.

[mandyfire98]

Nope it's not literally on the coast but it's in the eastern part of the United States

[EnglishArtsteacher]

Newark, New Jersey?

I'm having too much fun guessing, sorry if it's annoying you lol.

[mandyfire98]

Not New Jersey but getting a little closer

[EnglishArtsteacher]

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania?

I was going to say Cleveland, Ohio, since it's sorta in the eastern portion of the USA, but that's technically in the midwest, even if it doesn't look like it is.

[mandyfire98]

Ohio is very close

[EnglishArtsteacher]

Lexington, Kentucky?

[mandyfire98]

No comment 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[EnglishArtsteacher]

Lol.

It was fun while it lasted.

[mandyfire98]

🏆 haha

[exitseven]

It. Is terrible if you are going into the city. I hardly go there anymore because the traffic is so bad. . My commute is not bad. It takes me a half hour to go 15 miles

[NathanDavis]

not truly bad yet...

a drive that could take 20 to 30 minutes... now it's 40 to 70 minutes or so

[rosemilk]

there's always construction. always cones up, even if there is nothing being constructed on

[Sparkie460]

Traffic sucks big time where I live. My town is getting built up so much then we have out of towners that come through to get to the winery's. It can take 40 minutes to get across town.

[Redstang88]

Horrendous. You basically can’t cross the bridges between 6 and 10 am one way, or 2 to 7 pm the other

[ChicoFromThe305]

Not trying to sound like a dick but more people gotta die no cap

[PaulEGon]

Traffic not much of a problem here, aside from road work and school buses.

[douride2]

We don't have a rush hour here. It's only a rush 15 minutes.

[cherriibly]

There is not much traffic, I don't live in a very crowded place.

[KittygosMeoWW]

The city I live in is growing and it’s super busy now

[KrakenAttackin]

Her in Atlanta we are famous for massive traffic. Downtown the highway is 16 lanes wide.

[serenalovesramen]

Im chilling in New York until Christmas, the traffic legit makes me wanna 🙂🔫

[CrimsonAngel09]

Depends on the time.
