For the first time in a very long time, I find myself not at work on a Friday afternoon. It is not even 3 pm and yet Essen is gridlocked. Wtf? Do this many people not work on Friday afternoons? Did I somehow get transported to France where everyone works 30 hours a week? How are there this many cars on the road in the middle of the afternoon?

School traffic and Friday before a home game. Everyone is scrambling to get their tailgates done.

If there's sunlight, Essen will be a shite show.

I've only lived here in BR for a little over 3 years and every year, the drivers/traffic has gotten exponentially worse.

When I leave the office at 4:30 I'll cruise home with much less traffic than the other weekdays. I'm one of the few schmucks that works all day on a Friday.

Friday afternoon has bad traffic in every city in the country that has significant traffic.

Essen is gridlocked.
School dismissal time, Friday afternoon before big LSU football game and the main reason is the OLOL has a shift change at 3 PM. I won't use Essen between 2:45 and 3:45 any weekday afternoon but Friday is the worst.

I took off for personal reasons. This is vacation time. I did not expect to spend it in traffic.

Traffic doesn't start and stop just because LeonPhelps needs "me time" or a "girls day."

You should have called ahead and had them clear the streets for you since your above sitting in traffic like the rest of the plebs

Houston traffic is lighter on Fridays

Essen red lights are synchronized to maximize traffic pileup
