I hate sitting in backed up traffic. If you’re like me, you’ll get off the freeway and travel city streets for miles just to avoid bad traffic.
So for me, this week’s report in the U-T about the worst traffic bottlenecks in San Diego County was actually good news.
You see, I live in the East County and none of the top ten worst areas for bad traffic are in the East County. Now that doesn’t mean I don’t have to deal with slow traffic on Interstate 8 and the 52…but nowhere near as much as they do in the northern area of the city and in the North County.
Seven of the ten worst traffic spots are in those areas. If you drive the 5 or the 15 to or from the North County, I don’t know how you do it sometimes. There can be miles and miles of bumper-to-bumper traffic.
But then we all know the tricks. Leave early or leave late and chances are you will avoid the worst traffic.
Otherwise, the only answer is to learn patience…that is, as long as it doesn’t take too long.
