Traffic calming

For a lot of motorists, speeding seems like one of the least offensive traffic violations. A common attitude of drivers is: "driving ten or fifteen mph over the speed limit doesn't make you a criminal." While this is generally true in the sense that most instances of speeding are considered infractions, speeding is a serious matter because of its dangers, three of which are discussed below: Speed Reduces Your Control Over Your Car The ability to steer and brake on the road is impossible…

interstate 575, I would implement rideshare stops. The rideshare programs allow commuters to park at a designated area and take a scheduled bus ride for a low fare to their destination, which tend to be places that are most impacted by high volumes of traffic. By implementing more of the rideshare stops along each entry and exit point of the new toll lane and encourage more development of these stops in the zip code as a whole, it would greatly reduce the amount of commuting stress Frumkin…

clean of dirt, mud, and salt. Don't Pull out in Front of Traffic in Conditions of Poor Visibility or Poor Traction Poor visibility includes fog, smoke, dust, and darkness. Don't force other vehicles to brake for you under these conditions. Allow enough time to complete your maneuver before oncoming traffic reaches you. When road conditions are slippery, you must allow even more time because the poor traction works against you as well as traffic braking for you. Forcing anyone to brake for you…

A quote I once read by Peter Zilahy states "You have to make choices even when there is nothing to choose." On the freeway headed towards downtown it happened to me again that dreaded slow driver in the far left lane or better know as the passing lane. Okay, I'll be honest, I was annoyed. I came across a road rage meme and it made laugh so hard! It was Kermit the Frog with a bolded caption that said" My face when ... I'm finally to the person who would let me over." I'm looking at it again…

A few weeks ago, I was driving down highway 36 to get to my house and the person in front of me was going 50 on a 55 and I was getting very mad at the person, then he decides to turn right off of the road but he didn’t use his turn signal so I almost knocked into him. I hate when people drive without using turn signals, go under the speed limit, and have their brights on. Driving without using turn signals really grinds my gears. Driving without using turn signals really grinds my gears. When…

The traffic is horrifying in Chicago, so it makes sense for some people to have a little road rage or in Milskys case a little too much road rage. People swearing, cursing at each other out the windows of their cars on the road at 9 in the morning. Even though no one’s at fault because no one can control traffic. The better option is to leave the house earlier, but these people along with Milsky choose not to. What people don’t realize in that moment is the feelings of others. They don’t…
