Rhode Island Traffic Report

Something so fucking predictable they could just record it and play the same tape over and over every day. It's always exactly the same, and ignores anything not within a 2-mile radius of the center of Providence.
"95 North is slow between Thurber's Avenue and the State Offices Exit, 195-westbound is backed up from Broadway to the I-95 split, 95 South is slow from Atwells Avenue to the 146-merge, 146 South you're on your brakes from Admiral Street to the 95 merge, and the 6-10 Connector is backed up to Dean Street...I'm Jim Stearns with your Wheelock Auto Rhode Island Traffic Report."

Traffic Crippling

When civil engineers and city planners talk about "traffic calming" they're really talking about "traffic crippling." Traffic crippling takes a flow of traffic. Rather than help motorists get from A-to-B as quickly as possible and leave the flow of traffic, they instead cripple the flow of traffic and frustrate motorists into
using alternative travel means (e.g. a bus). Traffic cripplers encourage air pollution by extending the period of any trip and raising the amount of pollutants created by any one motorist.
They did some traffic crippling. Now only bikes can go down this road.
