Damn. Must be nice.

My surface streets are 45 limit, 40-50-ish pace and a 35 limit with a 40-ish pace.

With lights, I'm probably at about a 30mph average.

I hate traffic with a passion. That's why I moved away from Seattle. My commute there was 45 -60 minutes each way to go 12 miles... FUCK THAT. I was ready to go postal on motherfuckers.
Yup. Seattle. 60+ minutes each way for me. I refuse to do the math to find out how much time I'm wasting.

I LOVE THIS!! I WISH IT WOULD HAPPEN IN 50 US CITIES, & MANY CITIES WORLDWIDE!!

It proves I'M RIGHT! AND EVERYONE ELSE WAS WRONG!

BUILD TOWER CITIES CONNECTED TO MAG-LEV TRAINS WORLDWIDE BY ENDING THE CAPITALIST WAGE (SMALL TEMP INCOME) & SAY ALL PEOPLE OWN ALL THINGS ON EARTH!

ONLY T&T WILL SAVE THE EARTH!!

I hope there is a repeat in AMERICA & W/W CITIES like the 60 MILE TRAFFIC JAM IN BEIJING, CHINA, WHICH WILL LAST FOR WEEKS
