Handling Congestion: Getting A Grip on Attitude

Handling Congestion: Getting A Grip on Attitude

Population numbers are growing. Over the next 40 years, another 130 million people will be residents of the United States. Just in California, the number of residents is projected to be 21 million by 2035. To handle greater numbers of people trying to get down the road, planners are developing, and in some cases have already created, transportation options to ease traffic. Light rail, high-speed rail, trolleys, bike lanes, high occupancy vehicles lanesall sorts of ideas are out there to handle growing problems of congestion, pollution and air quality issues, and climate change concerns.

Riding a bike, sharing a car with a flexible car service, carpooling, taking a toll road, riding a commuter train, driving a hybrid or all electric car are efforts residents can employ to help ease congestion and improve air quality. But one of the biggest efforts residents can make as we all deal with many more of us trying to get around town and live our lives is developing our awareness. With increased population density, increased traffic, and increased technology that takes our attention, we have greater chances to be distracted and impatient. Even though hands-free and Bluetooth technology are acceptable in many states, recent studies show that a driver's attention to driving is reduced while talking on the phone. And when traffic slows to rolling speed, or stalls altogether, stress can grow.

Impatience and irritation can lead a driver to make risky choices, such as excessive speeds, unsafe lane changes, following another car too closely which reduces the braking distance, and not allowing other cars to merge.

Congestion in many geographic areas is a fact of life. How we choose to deal with the slow downs and distractions we can use to entertain us will play a part in the safety of our travels.
