It's a lot

Traffic is increasing and we as drivers as well as the roads are struggling to cope. Some say it's because people do not want to take public transportation while a recent report stated that the influx of traffic is directly related to our increase in buying online.


Traffic

Yes. Take a look around (safely) while your driving and you'll notice a tremendous amount more trucks and vans. We are all clicking the Buy Now button on Amazon and most people I talk too won't go back into a grocery store again.

 

In fact, when I shop at Whole Foods, I'm a minority because I'm an individual shopper. The majority are Amazon Prime people shopping for a few people at one time. I've gotten some bruises because they don't look up as they make their way around the store. Their head is in their phone looking at the next item they are locating.

 

So be careful on the roads...and...in Whole Foods ;)

Interesting - not great for the environment for sure. In the City, there are crews hauling hand trucks delivering online orders - another segment of the gig economy.

I was in traffic and I passed a guy walking. I offered him a lift and he said no thanks I’m in a hurry

Traffic is definelty brutal these days. Maybe it's because we were so removed from it for so long, the shock now seems worse. But on line ordering seems to be the new normal for many. I still enjoy picking out my groceries and seeing merchandise in person when I can.

Traffic is still unpredictable. Went to Park Slope, Monday and Tuesday. Left at 5:30 PM both days. Arrived Monday at 6:45 and Tuesday at 7:20. And no accidents!! Crazy.
