The problem with Jacksonville traffic
If there is an accident before or during the morning or afternoon rush hours, traffic has zero chance of being efficient. I use FL511.com to check the accidents when I see there is traffic. A very obvious pattern to me is the time taken to clear an accident. Today's accident on I-95 towards downtown occurred at 5:21am. The accident is described as minor. Per the camera, we can see it's minor considering the vehicles pulled off to the shoulder. This should be cleared in an hour. There is no need to screw traffic over because of a minor accident and take ~3 hours to clear. Other major cities will clear accidents immediately in order to prevent traffic as best as possible. Jacksonville takes hours for fender benders. In other states, it is the law to leave the highway for minor accidents. In Jacksonville, seems it is the law to bot give a fuck about others.
