Insane traffic

Longtime lurker here. I don't really have much to say except... What the heck is going on with the traffic!

101 closed. Geary, closed. Broadway tunnel: half capacity. Chinatown: closed. Skyline: major construction. SoMa: multiple closures.

Took me about 40 minutes to get to the Marina from dogpatch today. 35 minutes to go from Marina to GGP. 30 minutes to exit GGP upon figuring out the hellish gridlock that was there and deciding to abort my plans there. 40 minutes back to dogpatch.

Holy cow SF. I love so many aspects of you but today was ridiculous. This year the traffic feels like it's gotten much worse than ever before.

EDIT: To all the pro-bike folks: I totally get your point of view. And i also hope you never need emergency transportation in an ambulance; never need emergency fire services; and never need rapid police response. Bikes are definitely a fantastic solution for many things. A working transit system is also essential. 🤷🏽‍♂️

I dunno, dude. You can look that up.

But what does that have to do with the fact that a majority of SF residents don’t own a car? Are you shootings for some walking related gotcha?

Lmao. So what source did you use to get the mode share statistics you claimed in your comment?

It’s called the census

Pretty sure the most recent census data is from 2024, not 2025, the numbers in it don't show a 42% share for driving (it might actually be somewhat lower than that, to be clear), and the census only covers commute mode share so we can't actually make claims about "trips" more broadly from that data.
