Essen traffic is an absolute joke right now. I know they're working to get it right ,but when it backs up I swear all of south BR goes to a standstill.

Where they've been working on the roads right at I-10 is a fricking disaster. They hammered up that exit/merge lane last week and are backing traffic up pretty bad on Interstate.

For arteries College seems the worst to me - all the others seem ok as long as it's not rush hour.

I'll give a vote for college. Takes forever to get from campus towards corporate

Essen actually moves a lot more steadily now with the extra lanes

I don't find any of them that bad. Yeah traffic is very heavy, but I find it moves.

Got off work last night at midnight. Took me 20 minutes to get to the interstate on Essen. AT MIDNIGHT! It's absolutely ridiculous. For some reason the traffic light at that RaceTrac only let's 3 cars through at a time. As if it wasn't bad enough that everyone is funneled into 1 lane

Only use Essen when ur going to Perkins, not coming from it. Or you'll sit every time. It's a fact

Siegen ain't no picnic either.
I'm appalled at how shitty the surface streets around mid city and downtown are though. Park, Govt.,Fla are damn near impassable due to lack of maintenance and overlays. Good lord the Capitol city is an embarrassment
