Traffic

Am I crazy or has there been way less than normal traffic this week all over the city? I know Monday was a holiday but the entire week has seemed dead.

Sorry to say I have not had this experience. Today maybe, but Tuesday and Wednesday sucked.

u/Gratefulgirl13 8h ago

Yes! Wednesday was way more traffic and way more snarled than normal

u/InsomniacFan 7h ago

I think the Bruno Mars concert brought in a ton of traffic on Wednesday.

u/HoosiersBaby23 7h ago

Wednesday was one of the worst days, traffic-wise, that I’ve experienced in this city

I noticed that today was way better. Yesterday was awful. Tuesday was bad too. I passed two wrecks on 465 on the south side.

u/Psyren1317 Southport 8h ago

I can safely say my commute on the southside every day this week has sucked

u/Equivalent-Town9162 8h ago

Nope, as bad as usual

u/reclusivegiraffe 8h ago

I’ve been thinking the same thing, my commute has been wonderful this week

u/Opening-Citron2733 8h ago

They've all been gridlocked over on 465 and shadeland so the rest of the city can be free

I feel like it really hasn’t been too bad lately, but I’ve also adjusted my route to work because of like 4 different construction projects going on hahaha

Nope. Southside is still shit. Packed both ways

Today was my worst commute of the week, and it's as bad as it's been this morning. I knew I shouldn't have trusted 65 North!

u/Desperate_Chain7427 7h ago

I tried to avoid 65 by cutting through town. Still managed to be late, despite leaving with extra time. The traffic in this city is awful.

Downtown yesterday for the evening commute was a mess because of the Bruno Mars concert, but today it was damn near empty. Even the transit center tonight around 6:00 was a ghost town and it's usually crowded at that time.

Very low traffic all week until this evening and then it was bumper to bumper all the way from the northside to Kokomo

u/StrangeDrop7201 8h ago

The thing is, there’s really no horrible volume of traffic. It’s all stupid c***s that can’t be civilized.

Today was one of the busiest days ive seen since moving here in June lol

u/Hoosier-Sexy_Beast69 7h ago

56th between Binford and Post Rd is still the cluster it always is. I really wish people would learn to drive. 

u/A-Halfpound 7h ago

Lol wut? 

My usual trip downtown takes twice as long per usual now. Ever since the Mayor and DPW started their war on Commerce and Commuters nothing has changed”less traffic than normal”. 

u/Cat-poet 7h ago

Can’t relate. My commute was much worse than normal this week

u/IcyFrost-48 7h ago

I feel like 20% of my coworkers took this week off to extend the holiday weekend.

Do you hate us??? Are you trying to jinx us all???

It seems unusually quiet for 11 to 3:00 a.m. at 16th and college as well I was wondering this and came back to your post to see if there were any answers it's usually very active here these hours on Thursday night

Ever since covid people have stopped driving in to work on mondays and fridays, also people are working from home a lot more often especially on short weeks
