What Traffic?

Goldfinch60



So typical!

Left home slightly earlier,

Earlier than usual

Had to avoid the traffic

At this time of the day,

I did not want to be late.

As I drove I just didn’t stop,

There was no traffic.

I might have seen a dozen cars

Where normally

The road was jammed.

Even all the traffic lights were green

So arrived much too early.

So there I was sitting in the car

Writing these words!

        Thank you spilleronsheet, it is so unusual to go into town with no traffic around.

        Have a great day your self.

          So true Andy

          It can vary. If it rains, it's best to leave early, I find. Everyone gets their car out if it's wet.

          Perhaps the other drivers saw you coming - wish I had that effect. lol

          🥴🥴😊

          • Goldfinch60

            They don't normally. Usually the roadworks god sees me get into my car and digs the road up in front of me. LOL

            • Michael Edwards

              Yes I have that problem too except they don't usually get as far as digging it up - they just put out the cones and temporary lights.

              I've noticed Monday's are quieter now, and I'm just wondering if people on flexi time are having long weekends.

              • Goldfinch60

                Don't know why it was like it that day, normally that road is jammed at that time of the morning even in these Strange Times.

                Just move to Atlanta, GA. I promise you will never arrive anywhere early‼️
                I tell people if they are bad in this life then they have to spend eternity driving in Atlanta. 😂

                  It used to be like that where I used to live in the South East of England, it is certainly better were I live now in the Midlands.

                  Since lockdown there seems to be less traffic.... people working from home i guess which has to be good for the planet or are they using collectively more energy to stay warm than they would in the workplace? i dunno.

                  • Goldfinch60

                    It has been like this but the main road into town is nearly always very busy, it wasn't on this particular day. Strange.
