Traffic
on I-4 Sitting in traffic on I-4 during rush hour (which
is practically all day long) is about as exciting as getting a
root canal. A typical rationalization for this asphaltic
asphyxia is "Hey, you should see the traffic in [fill in any
large urban area north of the Florida state line]." Seriously,
though, traffic on I-4 moves relatively smoothly, morning and
afternoon commute periods excepted, but (a) Expect a short delay
if any car along the metro portion of I-4 is stopped on the
shoulder. (b) Expect a medium delay if that car is sporting law
enforcement decals or lights. (c) Expect a longer delay if (a)
and (b) are together. (d) Expect your delay to be interminable
if you really really need to be somewhere and any one of the
above is in effect. A worthwhile tactic is to get off at the
next exit ramp and see if you can find your way around all the
downtown lakes. You won't get to your destination any quicker,
but you'll have some interesting stories.
