Trimming Traffic
It’s entirely reasonable to drive in both directions
and hit very little traffic even if you live in a major metropolitan area

It's possible to have an easy trip to and from any fishing trip if the
proper hours of the day are picked. There is always something that can be
done to make driving easier. Look at the density of this traffic but note
the space between me and the next car. Compared to other sections of the highway
the road is wide open, but with a little less pressure on the gas pedal the
ride home is smooth and comfortable. No matter what the speed a little more
elbow room on the highway always diminishes stress.
Driving day or night, traffic can be avoided to save on gas,
time, and more than ever money. Take a look at the photograph and consider all the motor vehicles.
It might seem like a lot of traffic, but it’s not when compared to rush
hour congestion. Leaving for any trip during the wee hours of the morning ensures
very few cars on the road. The same can be said for the return trip; when heading
for home, try to time it with the end of the day as the heart of traffic begins
to abate. It’s entirely reasonable to drive in both directions and hit
very little traffic even if you live in a major metropolitan area.
Timed correctly, driving several hundred miles one way can have very little
traffic, and the same can be said for the return trip; however, make sure to
watch out for traffic advisories where road work is being done so as to avoid
detours that can channel five lanes of traffic into two.
