Does anyone have a good before screenshot of the same map view / area? I want to stitch together a before shot before I share so that people not from the area can get an idea of the change and not just immediately think "oh well my small town has traffic and it looks like that so what's the big deal"
not exactly but with Google Maps you can setup a route with a start time set in the past and look at the congestion at that moment:
Half an hour to cross that bridge isn't even that bad.
yeah i wasn't sure when rush hour would be, i just put something random and took a screenshot before my battery would die ^^
Gotcha, I found that on desktop you can do "average traffic" for a day of the week and time for the whole map without putting in a destination so I picked an average Monday at 5:30:
oh nice then that's exactly what you needed :)
Lmfao, that's the same distance as my commute to work, and I can bike that in 17-20 minutes
Yeah, but you can't bike through the tunnels
Why not?
There's no space for you to bike safely in the Holland or Lincoln tunnel.
