PHG traffic sucks because of two things. first the geographic location makes it hard to have a bypass like most cities our size have. Second people just can’t drive. I travel the parkway everyday going to work. This past sunday I was going in I’m on the road at 6am and there is no one ever on the parkway that early. I was crusin down the right hand lane and I hit teh surilly tunnels next thing I know as soon as i get in I;m behind this asshole doing 20 mph litterally. By tie we got out he had traffic backed up in the tunnels to the point people were jumping lanes while in the tunnel including myself right at the end. what is it with people and driving slow through the tunnels. I swear over in squirrel hill its like they look like giant ovens or some stupid shit to them… ---

I have so many storys its sad. My favorite though is the daily I-95 (10 lanes in wbp) all the sudden going from 85mph to 5mph in a split second…and this is when traffic is worse than rush hour in pittsburgh. All you see is a tital wave of brake lights and usually you can catch a glimpse of one of those little 5 car pill-ups :eek3: ---

If you did then you’re just dumb. During gang banging it wasn’t safe to walk through my hood cause homewood crips were supposed to shoot a white kid from Greenfield to get in the gang. Thats not something you want to worry about when you are 12. ---
