It was ba...I remember a similar traffic situation.<br /><br />It was back a few years ago, when a local city was reviving their Mardi Gras tradition. I think it was the first or second year of the revival.<br /><br />The town was packed! Cars everywhere as folks were trying to leave after the parades, etc. It took us an hour and a half to travel one block. People were piling out of their cars, running to the convenience stores, etc. to do something while waiting for traffic to move.<br /><br />It would have been nice to go the opposite direction that everyone was travelling. Unfortunately, the town was and island, Galveston island, and there are only three ways off. Going way A would have been a 3 or four hour trip, if traffic was good. Alternative B would have been a couple of hours. Method C eventually worked, but I have no idea how long it took.<br /><br />It has caused me to not go back for Mardi Gras since. I'm sure they've improved traffic control since then.Scott Zrubekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09672644505722057025noreply@blogger.com
