Everyday traffic

I believe everyone can relate to traffic headaches all over the US and beyond. You probably get into a traffic jam at least once a week. That actually happens to me quite often going down Highway 50 into Sacramento every evening. You want to know some of the reasons that we have all those traffic jams? One of the major culprits is when accidents happen in the road or along the side of the road and everyone has to look over and see what happened so that they can tell there spouses that evening or have something to talk about later on. If everyone would proceed with caution but not stare over at the accident, most traffic jams would be minimized. Additionally, when you change the road incline, decline, or direction too abruptly for cars, people freak out and slow down and in turn cause traffic jams. These slow downs normally happen to me when I get close to the intersection of Highway 50 and 99 or Highway 50 and I-5 and even on the causeway from Sacramento to Davis. Too much change in direction freaks people out and we all slow down. Another reason for these traffic jams is because Sacramento never had the foresight to build a beltline around Sacramento. I will warn Sacramento now that if you don't do something soon, traffic in Sacramento is going to be worse than New York or LA in the not so distant future. In the mean time, we can all work together and follow some basic guidelines so we can all get home quicker and safer everyday.

1. We are all guilty at looking at our cell phones and talking on them, but try to use that bluetooth more.
   
2. Try to minimize looking at accidents on the side of the road.
3. Try to keep you car at a consisent speed even when the Interstate change direction slightly.
   
4. Use your cruise control more.
5. Use the restroom before you leave to go home. Never know when the urge to go might hit and in turn you won't have the tendency to speed home and cause accidents.
6. Just use common sense.

If we work together, we can build a better place.
