Morning Traffic
Am retired so time to sit and watch from a handy viewpoint at the dining table. Attached picture shows where I am - gold star. If traffic heading south-east on Lincoln St towards the Rifle Range Rd roundabout is queued back as far as the Caltex exit opposite that's very unscientifically "a traffic jam".
Mon, Tue and Wed this week dry and sunny.
Monday - no 8am jam but school traffic jam from 0830 until 0845 and for less than a minute actually stationary at 0835 but mostly moving slowly.
Tues and Wed - no 8am or school traffic jam at all.
Next week shows rain every day - will repeat the exercise next Mon, Tue, Wed and report back.
There were queues the other way for Forest Lake but that's another story.
