Waze, it's an app. Really accurate, finds shortcuts thru traffic. Also it will tell you estimated time to arrive, so even if everything is fucked up, you'll know and can do something else instead of sit in traffic.
Sure it does. Check the routes it's showing, if they are all fucked up just hit the gym, store, movies, better to do something fun for an hour then sit 2 hours in traffic.
What I said to Nate. May not work for the exact situation you're in right now but I've been in Portland my entire life and it's shown me a few different shortcuts that I never knew existed. Cool app.
An hour plus an hour of traffic still = 2 hours. Maybe still two hours of traffic, or it could even worsen in that time.
Next time try it. Or not, don't really care, lol. Just throwing out something there that I've found really helpful.
Traffic is the main reason I will not move back to PDX or live in another congested city. I moved out of Portland 2.5 years ago, thinking after school I'd be back. Now, I'm done. I go bs k to visit and spend so much time driving it's just frustrating. I'm in a small town in CA now, it's ok, but I want to end up moving back to Walla Walla. No traffic, ever. Calm, nice people. Beautiful scenery, great restaurants and a plenty to do if you are in the Wine industry.
