Either it is a Jewish holiday, or the gas prices are having a positive effect. - GoFuckYourself.com

The freeways are empty. Which is it?

Rochard · 06-03-2008, 03:51 PM

It's the price of gas. Peeps can't afford it. It's nice really. I rarely drive and these days when I do the freeways are empty!

payd2purv · 06-03-2008, 03:52 PM

GrouchyAdmin · 06-03-2008, 03:52 PM

Seriously. I had to go to the Valley today (took 405 and 101) and the traffic reminded me of midnight rather than lunch hour.

Maybe it's because people are at work.

You have obviously never driven in LA.

_Richard_ · 06-03-2008, 04:26 PM

BradM · 06-03-2008, 04:27 PM

Good, I need to drive to North OC today and I have a stick. Wasn't looking forward to it.

California would be slightly higher in price per gallon. Perhaps there is a set number that makes people say no fucking way.

One accident affecting traffic on two freeways, for traffic in both directions over a two hour time period?

You didn't give much thought to that one I guess.

That's why I asked if it was a Jewish holiday. When I used to have to drive to Beverly Hills every morning I could always tell when it was a Jewish holiday because the traffic would be noticeably lighter.

I don't know if DC has the same phenomenon.

I think there is the same concentration of most races/religions in the d.c. area as in Hollywood actually. And gas is probably around the same price. $4.41 for regular etc.

I think premium is $4.33 down the street. Maybe that was regular, it is climbing. Since I am usually filling up one of the bikes I don't really notice other than I may pay $13 when I used to pay $1.

pocketkangaroo · 06-03-2008, 09:16 PM

I haven't seen much drop here either. We're the highest prices in the country too. Cost me $4.51 to fill up the other day.

I do know that SUV sales have tanked. My buddy runs two dealerships in the area and says they can't pay someone to buy an SUV.

Porno Dan · 06-03-2008, 10:24 PM

There was a report on the local news out here that there are less people driving and more and more using public transportation.

BradM · 06-03-2008, 10:40 PM

405N through Orange County was about 20% lighter today. Odd.

Jewish holiday next week so you may notice a change in traffic Monday or Tuesday. Nothing this week.

That is great news. Normally when I drive to SF I have to leave very early or deal with rush hour traffic.

Sounds like smooth sailing.
