Pull over have a pint and a taco and wait for it all to blow over

At the Winchester?

Edit: I don’t know how many people will see this but can someone validate my reference lol

I dunno, a pic of 5pm traffic anywhere is a drag.

Whalley Ave is worse IMO. I loathe Whalley Ave; begins innocently enough as you exit downtown, immediate congestion near Dwight St., rips open like a highway by Stop & Shop only to be shafted by 5 lights covering .6 miles. Chaos abounds from the Boulevard to Osborn, cruise by the graveyard until we screech to a halt entering “downtown Westville” aka the Worst. Red lights, phantom merges, turn only lanes, buses, pedestrians, etc. At worst it’s a crawl from the Mitchell Library to Amity, at best it sucks. Not bike friendly at all but I have seen a few sickos try. Probably top 5 street for pedestrians being hit every year. Everyone uses the Valley St route to avoid Whalley. I also use the Amity Liquor parking lot to cut over to 63.

These out of staters act like they've never seen the GD ocean lol

Nah long wharf trucks

complaining about traffic while actively contributing to traffic

Whalley is a death trap

I wish they sold pints. That strip is already amazing for the food. Add beer and it’s famous.

Poetic

Consider it validated lol. I’m due for a rewatch of Shaun of the Dead.

The sun was low and bright at this time, it was a bad drive for a few miles there.

It wasn’t that bad today. Got through it fairly quickly, even at 4.

I hate that light in downtown on the Frontage Road/Oak Street Connector to enter the freeway from the hospitals

I remember taking a wrong turn once around Mitchell Library on my way home and unknowingly drove straight into this mess. Traumatized me for life. I swore to never make that mistake again and now I always triple check which turn I’m taking anytime I get anywhere near Whalley

A classic

I hop off and usually hop back on in West Haven or Milford and hope that the traffic has let up.

One day we will see I-95 fall and the city connected to the shore.

A little late, but I see you and your Shawn of the Dead reference.

Been driving to work down Whalley since 1985. Now I am remote working but I still have to make the trek at least once a week. The traffic flow has actually improved with the newer turn lanes, but it still sucks.

the stretch between west haven and bridgeport has been rated as one of America's top 100 traffic bottlenecks for years. there's 50 states and our tiny state has 7 on the top 100 list

nah. it's fine like it is. better to smoke jazz cigarettes and get that cartoonish giant pineapple with a straw in it

If I had a spare few billion, I’d bury 95 by long wharf and build waterfront housing and shops over the top.

Please tell me you actually think it’s “isint”

I love how they have a on-ramp merging into a lane that is an exit only in less than quarter mile .. what amazes me is someone with lots of education looked at plans and said yeah this should work ..

Omg the idea to get rid of the 34 connector was not a smart idea really screwed things up more than they were

Yeah it’s much easier to get off and go down Kimberly seeing as how I live in west haven
