Yeah but some people are more traffic than others.
insert lifted truck hogging 2 lanes
insert soccer moms with massive SUVs
Lol
Insert the guy in a Prius going 30 mph under the speed limit and slamming on his brakes for no reason.
Insert everyone in the passing lane that isn’t passing.
What is this “passing lane” of which you speak? All I’ve ever seen in America is the fast lane and the slow lane(s).
The left lane is supposed to be for passing only.
And passing is still according to the speed limit.
Nope. You see there are two realities. One where the DOT exists and they write traffic laws for. Then there’s the reality the rest of us are living in. Cops are not behind every bush or blade of grass so adherence to the rules is an optional behaviour.
People dogmatically sticking to the speed limit while there’s a line of cars behind them are the worst type of narcissistic asshole. Even if they don’t want to speed, they can pull over and let the rest of us pass them. But they don’t. Because that would mean feeling shame and they have none.
One photo of a truck hogging two lanes and I’ll believe it’s something you didn’t just make up.
If you swerve in and out of lanes to try to get ahead, you can be traffic for an easy 3 or 4 lanes!
Love the peeps that risk killing everyone around them to get ten feet ahead in bumper to bumper traffic.
And only end up being farther back than if they had just stayed put, as everybody else had the same thought, making the new lane the slower one.
And even if it doesn’t, they lose any time they could have possibly gained the moment they get off the highway and hit a red light.

Oh good. This is gonna be just like reddit. Things that are literally decades old.
Isn’t reddit content just a reflection of people, and people also exist on this platform
well…stop that.
You aren’t stuck on Reddit. You are the Reddit.
Oh…oh God…
Did you expect people would really change compared to how they acted on Reddit?
I hoped :(
So did I, but I absolutely did not expect internet culture to radically change.
What’s wrong with this post?

Lemmy isn’t reddit, but whatever it is, they’re both the internet.
YOU’RE THE INTERNET
Wait it’s all internet
Just one more lane bro and we fix traffic, trust me.

That actually works. It’s like your healthcare system, those who pay the most get the best service
The land of the rich
California Bay Area in shambles
I think people downvoting this didn’t spot the sarcasm.
Induced demand is a myth. https://www.cato.org/blog/debunking-induced-demand-myth
Adding more lanes does improve throughput even if congestion is still a problem.
Nah, I am the main character. The world happens to me, get these NPCs out of my way.
You aren’t shitposting in Lemmy, you ARE the Lemmy!
You are the shitpost in Lemmy!
We do not live in a society. We are a society. 😔
And you can actively choose to better or worsen society, just like you can choose to better or worsen traffic. Vote for legislation to improve public transit. #fuckcars
Be the traffic you want to become.
Ahh, the Lemmy meme.
You aren’t in an orgy. You are the orgy.
Where orgy?
Can’t get there, too much traffic.
The traffic is stuck in the traffic🚦
Mix powdered traffic into your traffic.
More traffic per traffic.
There is not not enough parking, there are too many cars
There’s plenty of parking on the highway
Been working remote since onset of pandemic. Never going back to the office bro. Couldn’t pay me enough to share the roads with the rest of the grinders.
So many hours wasted in traffic.

This is a Bill Burr bit.
mmm yes, the traffic is made out of traffic
“I’m stuck in traffic” implies they aren’t part of it but that it is something that is happening to them.
You’re not stuck in it, you are it.
No wonder I hate myself.
