I think it's a blend of atrophied skills, people who got used to an all-time traffic low now dealing with more volume, and more selfishness/inattentiveness

And cars itself you're looking at everything but the road. GPS, cameras, mirrors everywhere checking on kids, and distractions of said kids. Not to mention cellphones of course.
And people just don't know the roads. I think we older drivers know where we're going just as habit or instinct. Like we need to turn left 3 intersections from now, let's get into the left lane. Younger people rely on GPS, it tells you to turn left but way later than 3 intersections away. Thus, you're looking for the next street to turn on rather than waiting for a voice to tell you.
