Daylight Savings Time equals Increased Gridlock Time?

Question

Wtf? Has anyone else noticed in their area that when the daylight savings time changes in the fall, the traffic triples? Suddenly there are three times as many people on the road when you are driving home and the traffic has progressed from bad to unbelievably horrific in just one day. But it makes no sense because aren't you off at the same time via the clock after the time change as before? So where do all of these extra people come from???????????????

Answer 1

It is true. Many people who drive home in daylight are suddenly driving in the dark, so they get confused because it's such a radical change. And maybe all the farmers are hitting the road earlier, too. There is a buttload of people here in southern California who work in the fields that end up on the road with everyone who gets out at 5 each day.

Answer 2

traffic start at an hour early with daylight saving time. what happen is sun is blinding people at an hour early so traffic backup and slow people down way before normal time
