These slowdowns ripple though and make everyone just a little bit later which, in addition to the lack of vacation, crams more people into the same roads, where before they would spread out a bit because people have the freedom to show up a little early to avoid traffic or get some extra work done.
For example, if I am dropping my niece and nephew off at school, I need to get to Heritage and Macleod (roughly). Then I would need to get to work downtown. That means for a good portion of the time I need to be on a major route to get downtown, whereas normally I just run down Odgen road and cut across by the Stamplede grounds. I also need to get them to school no earlier than 8am, whereas before I would try and get to work by 7:30-8:00 most days.

Hordes of people drop their kids off at school between 6:30 to 7:15 am? And they all congregate outbound into the city at 162nd and Mcleod in Shawnessy at that time?
What kind of maniac schools are these?
