I'm working from home today so I lucked out in day 1 of Pan Am Traffic Clusterfuck.

my friend took 2 hours to get from Yonge & Davenport to Winston Churchill & QEW. It would normally take her about 45 mins. Today, she left at 645, got to work for 9.

I'm not looking forward to the rest of this week \:\(

holy shit \:\( man GL with that.

traffic up here was lighter, i guess because school is out and many people are taking vacay with the Wed. holiday. i was worried to see lots of traffic "northward" as two of the event locations are right up here. (angus glen and also over at kennedy and hwy 407) but nothing harsh so far. mid-town and downtown won't be very fun from the sounds of it. also around York U will be retarded.

Cam Wooley says everything is going well moving smooth, so people are lying about the traffic obviously.

Millions of dollars spent on these games and they thought this was the best option for the 5,000 signs that were put up around the GTA

Why be cryptic? Just display the name of the venue, save the confusion.

lol Every single radio station I tuned into (during my 3 hour commute) used the term disaster or something similar.

Mind you, its sort of expected. Everyone is complaining about the HOV lanes becoming active 2 weeks ahead of the games, but its better that they started early so that by the time the games start, local residents are used to them.

there is value for the signs being cryptic. i think they'll make sense to people with tickets to the game

why spell out the whole name of the venue to people who may not speak English.

i can imagine the accidents that will be caused by people trying to decipher the hieroglyphics and are going to miss their exit swerving from the HOV all the way right.

ugh, what a shit show.

I love to get a Golf Wagon TDI but the Volt really gets me to look at them because of the $8500 rebate and the use of HOV lanes
