re: How much does traffic affect your mood?

Morning traffic through 3 school zones back to back on a 3 mile stretch of a 45 mph road sends me into a rage every time I’m forced to drive through it. The combination of sitting through light cycles multiple times, people speeding through the zones, people not stopping for kids in crosswalks and people who don’t know how to make turns across medians (that also contain school crosswalks) is like watching a real life game of Frogger meets the Hunger Games as students wait for one person to get 1/2 way through the crosswalk to see if cars stop before they start walking.

I always wonder if the brave kid volunteered as Tribute or if he was forced by the group.
