There are certain times of the day when there is always going to be a lot of traffic. While this can’t be avoided with the number of people working 8- or 9-to-5 shifts, there are ways your own driving habits can help minimize the magnitude of congestion in your area.
Even if other drivers are causing or contributing to the problem, your choices can get things moving starting from where your car stops. Here’s how.
Easy on the brakes.
It’s not hard to stop every time you see other drivers’ red lights come on in traffic. In fact, it’s good to pay attention to the cars in front of you and know when they are braking, slowing down, or speeding up.
But hitting your brakes frequently helps create a traffic accordion as drivers behind you replicate your movement. This slows everybody down in the long run and makes congestion worse.
If traffic is stop-and-go, drive slowly enough that you aren’t braking every few seconds to avoid hitting the car in front of you.
Don’t surge ahead.
This goes hand-in-hand with giving your brakes a break. Don’t speed up every time there’s a tiny break in congestion, knowing that you will have to slam on your breaks in 15 feet (or less).
Not only do you waste gas and sink your gas mileage this way, but you also waste everyone else’s gas and time as other drivers speed up to follow you, have to brake suddenly, and keep the stop-and-go traffic pattern alive.
You’re not going to get anywhere faster than anyone else in heavy traffic, so try to relax and drive slowly enough that you are neither braking nor pressing on the gas unless you need to.
Give yourself space.
Tailgating the car in front of you won’t get you to your destination any faster, either. In fact, it may slow you down even more.
Giving yourself a car length of space between your front end and the next car gives you room to react to other cars. It also allows you the time to decide whether or not you need to apply the brakes or gas to keep the traffic flow moving.
Avoid gawking.
Looky Lous are just one cause of traffic congestion during times when there is a car accident, construction, or some other occurrence off the side of the road. You may be bored and want to know what’s going on with all those emergency vehicles, but the cost of adding to already-clogged roads should outweigh any knowledge you might gain from staring.
Drive a different route.
Not only do you have Metropia to guide you to a less congested route, but you also have the knowledge of traffic patterns for a drive you do every day. Except in special cases, you should have some idea which roads are the busiest at 6:00 p.m. and which are less busy.
If you can change your schedule to drive during a less busy time of day, even better. But many of us can’t do that—so use the apps at your disposal, and your knowledge of the everyday driving situation, to help you pick a route that will take you around the traffic rather than right through its heart.
Carpool or choose different transportation.
If you have the ability to take an alternate mode of transportation during rush hour, such as a bicycle, bus, or train, then do so! Although that might mean more riders on the bus or train at that time, you still won’t have to wait as long as you might while sitting on the road with all of the other drivers snaking their way home.
Carpooling is another good way to lessen traffic congestion, as it means fewer cars on the road at a given time. Plus having someone to talk to will help make the drive seem even shorter.
