And with GPS it's spread into residential neighborhoods that were once quiet.

Yes for the weekend. Ever since the traffic equalizer (covid) has been reduced, weekend traffic is back to its annoyance. SARS-COV-2 was a very good traffic engineer. And SARS-COV-2 never went to college either. It was born in a cave and became an adult in a lab and ended up being the greatest traffic engineer out there, much better than folks with PhD's that take 10 years to build a road or to instill traffic mitigation measures. Made our roads efficient again.
2020 was the best year for driving. Open highways, lack of minivans, massive reduction of cars with baby on board stickers. It was a good time... a simpler time. When 5 pm rush hour was similar to 2 am on a country road.
