It started with COVID. I never changed my routine and the traffic got very light in early 2020 (I saved dashcam clips at rush hour with traffic that looked like a Sunday). When people started getting back out they were running red lights, speeding, etc. There was the whole push to reduce policing, and they know it has happened so they have little change of getting a ticket. Over a year or so traffic has gotten worse than it was before COVID. I think it's people who gave up working and thus have more time to go shopping all day long. Price inflation has coincided with this.

When people started getting back out they were running red lights, speeding, etc. There was the whole push to reduce policing, and they know it has happened so they have little change of getting a ticket. Over a year or so traffic has gotten *worse* than it was before COVID. I think it's people who gave up working and thus have more time to go shopping all day long. Price inflation has coincided with this.
