People are driving faster. Ban cars.

More blood on GoldenJet and Spanky's hands.

Did they stop wearing tampons?

Misleading...fewer crashes, but higher rate of fatalities.

Local municipalities are noting more crashes overall.

More drug overdoses.

I have to pull over to the right doing 80-85 so as not to get run over.

A guy on a bike yesterday was doing minimum 110mph weaving through 3 lanes at 4pm in the afternoon on the expressway.

yea i think it's pretty clear why fatalities would be up...cops aren't pulling anyone over and people clearly are aware of that

I've noticed around here traffic is almost back to normal levels.

Is that just in town? I’ve noticed an uptick in Eureka when I’ve dropped animals off at locker or picked up beef but in between it’s still pretty dead. It’s been a couple months since I’ve been over to Peoria though so I’m not sure how 40 is between Tanners and Peoria.

I was just thinking of starting a thread about traffic, and how it's creeping back to normal. For a while there I could run across busy arterial roads with impunity, not anymore.

All over. My Mom's in a nursing home in Eureka and I've noticed more traffic every time I go see her. Haven't been in the Tanners direction in a while.

I've noticed more traffic this past week but it is still 30-40% of the normal amount.

another bump in the COVID-19 death count

if i can average 70+ on the tristate, then traffic is not back to normal. it is increased over 2-3 weeks ago

I-90 and Rte 53 are just about back to feeling like normal around 8AM and from 4PM to 6PM. Not quite there yet, but it is way more normal than mid April.
