What's with the traffic disaster every day?
Took me 2 hrs 31 mins to go exactly 30 miles on the L.I.E recently. I know NY traffic has been getting worse and worse over the years, but this whole year it has been 5x worse than it ever was before. I mean check out this googlemaps screenshot above (from a few months ago), 50 mile long traffic jams, never seen anything like that before. Even the major local routes like 106, 107, 110..etc are starting to have Queens level traffic sometimes. This is beyond post-pandemic effects, it's been unexplainably horrible the last year and a half specifically, I just don't understand it.
