Traffic Rant

I used to think the traffic in Minnesota sucked. When comparing it to here the traffic in MN is great. I'll take it any day. They don't believe in Freeways down here. Ok they have a couple that go across the state but that's it. Where ever you go around here there's a stop light in no more then two blocks away on any major Highway. It makes a 5 minute trip turn into 10-15 minutes. Apparently this area has expanded so fast that it caught the legislatures of guard. They didn't have time to get the proper infrastructure put in place before all the land was bought up and developed. Now its tear down buildings to expand roads or install more stop lights so traffic from the side streets can get on the main roads. Try telling a business like Home Depot to move from there prime location so they can put in a better road. It doesn’t happen.

On the bright side, it’s 75 degrees pretty much everyday in the winter and the roads aren’t quite as bad as the driving on the Jug Handles in Jersey.
