Well, see, I learned something today. Every piece of video I see concerning California highway traffic either involves a single vehicle running on rims to avoid the police, or massive 20-mile gridlock. Outside of fugitives, I was not aware that traffic moved there at all. |
You got both.
Morning rush hour and evening rush hour.
For instance the 91 freeway is the only way in and out of riverside, and EVERYBODY has to use it. Its a parking lot. Don't even bother if you dont have to go. Its worse on the weekends, its jammed all day.
A typical californian has somewhere to be, and they needed to be there 2 hours ago, and most don't have any patience for any pussyfooting around. It doesnt take much to piss someone off, hesitate behind the wheel for any reason , and they'll go out of their way to cut you off and get infront of you. When theres no traffic, they floor it. Ironicly ive found that if there is no trafic, CalTrans will make some by closing a lane.
Part of the problem is overcrowding. It gets progressivly more crowded here every year. So the traffic and prices in house's and rentals gets is always getting worse. I wish people would stop moving here.
