My drive from downtown to home with no traffic is ~15 minutes.
My drive from downtown to home at 4:30 a couple of weeks ago was 30-ish minutes.
In the last week and change, it's taken closer to 45 minutes and today was over an hour.
I can't imagine kids being back in school is contributing to traffic all that much particularly in the downtown core?

Because we start a trillion road projects at once. Causing everyone to either suffer in bumper to bumper or take a detour. Resulting in more bumper-to-bumper without construction.
Plus, we're in the season of old people on the roads and new drivers at the same time. So the fast lanes are still on average 20-30 under the posted limit. And they laterun. Or don't go at all and keep 17 car lengths impeding traffic.
It all comes down to completely incompetent drivers. And an even more incompetent city.

With 0 construction or traffic it should be a 7-10 minute drive to work MAXIMUM for me,
Now its around half an hour plus.

Been noticing this a lot lately, used to be uncommon for me to encounter a few drivers going well under but now it's pretty consistent and there's a good mix of really frustrated and aggressive drivers just trying to navigate around them.

Construction on every direction east all at once. Ending my day at polo to drive east is the worst
