Malfunction Junction, 8/15/2008

Continuing the drive time measurements on I-275 from the Westshore entrance ramp to where I-275 meets I-4, we have the following:

Driving in the heart of rush traffic and after a heavy rain on Thursday leads to one of my slowest commutes along I-275 since I’ve started recording them a week ago.  During the snail’s pace of a drive, I attempt to maintain a constaint speed and avoid hitting my brakes which generally means that I have to leave a gap of four to eigth car lengths between me and the car directly in front of me.  This is almost impossible to do for the first mile and a half as people are constantly trying to enter and exit the interstate through a solid wall of cars.
