Lesson was learned today when I arrived in the "Mid Cities" area a few minutes after five. I will say the traffic never stopped---if you consider 10 MPH still moving. It's the strangest thing---I have seen this over and over---all traffic is at a virtual standstill---bumper to bumper--creeping along for miles---ALL of a sudden things pick up and you are all speeding down the highway at 70 again. WHAT CAUSED THE STAND STILL? You never spot anything---there is no merging traffic that you see---for some unexplained reason---it just came to a stand still.
SO---I brilliantly timed my entry into the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex at the WRONG time today!!! Lesson learned!
ONE OTHER THING---when there is a sign that says
DO NOT CHANGE LANES
Obviously that only applies to cars with out of state license tags---EVERYONE from Texas seems to ignore that "Law" or perhaps it is just a suggestion. YES---we don't have traffic laws in Texas---only traffic suggestions!
This cracks me up. It has been one of the hardest lessons I have learned since moving to DFW. For my first two years here, I never got on the interstate, I only drove "back roads". After all, that was what I was used to.
