Provo Driving

Driving around in Provo is one of the most annoying things in the city. The layout is just terrible and the lights are bad and do not quicken travel times at all. There are tons of cars on the road most of the time and the bad layout only worsens the traffic. I have been stuck in some insane traffic while I have been here and it is frustrating. Another thing is that there is always road work going on somewhere in the city that hinders your travel and the freeways here are loaded with road work that has been here for years and will probably stay for years to come. I think that all this help contribute to my want to speed whenever I am not stuck behind a car. Back home I never sped and I was always patient when traveling. Now that I am always being stalled by other cars once I break free I just want to speed away to make up for all how slow I have been going. Through it all traffic here is a whole lot worse than it was back in my home town where there was a perfect grid system that I felt sped traffic along just fine. Provo driving is not fun and I wish it were better but seeing how that would take years of roadwork, I think it will have to settle.

  1. Not only is the grid system imperfect, but Utah drivers tend to be pretty terrible too.

  2. True that. The bikers are terrible too. One swerved from the bike lane right in front of me and I swerved and barely missed him.

  3. I don't like driving in Provo very much either. All the roadwork is super annoying, but the Utah drivers are the worst part. Especially when you are walking and they almost run you over and don't even realize it.
