True, in St. Louis rush hour means exactly that: a single hour of heavy traffic twice a day. Seattle, meanwhile, suffers stop-and-go freeway backups for the entire morning and evening. (Neither compare to Paris, pictured below, where driving in the city is like swimming up a waterfall.)
Still, when it comes to deciding the fastest way to
get to and from the office at 9 and 5, I was always flying blind. Other
than a quick glance at Google maps'
traffic feature, I'd simply head out after a certain hour and hope to
avoid any bumper to bumper action. Now, in the words of Roberto Duran,
"No más."
It
takes a little while to load, but once you get all those live cameras
on the screen at once it is downright hypnotic. I'll probably end up
using the time I save from being stuck in traffic to stare at this Web
page.
