look I always get downvoted for saying mandatory school busses for k-12. But seriously its summer now, and theres no traffic in my Bay Area town. you can go where ever you need to in the mornings.
- thechao 8y agoMy theory is that parents who drive their kids to school stay on the streets to do chores. This puts a lot more traffic on the roads at peak traffic times. During the summer, these extra people spread their chores out during the day. Thus, per day, the car total on the road is approximately the same during school, and not, but school hours change the distribution, and the school distribution is exponentially worse.
- roflchoppa 8y agoThat might be a good chunk of it, but what I was thinking about was the traffic lighting that is around the schools and how that is oriented. It becomes highly congested due to the time that it takes for people to get into cars, and the lines that form for people that are trying to get into the lots. This backs its self onto main corridors. Busses would address this due to the density of students per square foot.
