New Jersey...sucks!!! At least the New Jersey Turnpike. Never before has a trip from Washington DC to New York, NY taken nearly 10 hours. That's right, ten hours of frustrating, hellish, idiotic drving, or should I say sitting still? New Jersey and it's split pike are retarded. That's right retarded. Let's have the foresight to put up signs detailing traffic conditions on either side of the highway, the local and truck side and the auto only side, but let's only mention the congestion after the split. That's right, after the split. Nevermind that traffic would move more efficiently if there was a notice that one side is flowing at a rapid clip, preventing a several mile long traffic jam for no reason. And don't get me started about the GW Bridge approach. Worse than the turnpike, with the sign warning of traffic at least a mile AFTER the split for the upper and lower decks.

I hate to complain, being that I was the idiot driving instead of taking a train, or better yet, a plane, but that's beside the point. Traffic is going to occur, but it doesn't mean we can't expect our tranist departments to think logically. We have technology today that can pinpoint a car from outerspace, send info to a voice in a box, and tell us to take a right 100 feet ahead. We most certainly should have the same voice telling the signs where more traffic is located, and guide automobiles in the direction of least resistance.

Get it together!!!
