Rant: Morning Traffic

Every morning, traffic creates chaos for students and parents. Senior drivers go ten miles under the speed limit and early workers text and talk on their phones, making everyone late. Highways overflow with cars when weary drivers try to merge in between tight spaces, and accidents and detour signs worsen the hazardous morning by blocking busy roads. Every car seems to turn slower than usual and just when I enter the BSM grounds, I see another everlasting row of drivers trying to find a spot in the parking lot or dropping off their kids. Nothing can make my day better than getting another tardy in first hour religion.

    If people were to put away their electronics, put their beverage in their holders, use your turn signals, and focus on the traffic officers instructions they would shave minutes off of the traffic hour and the students would be safer.

    If drivers allow too much room between vehicles they can count on the direction of traffic being changed so as to keep the traffic flowing.

    After school when being instructed to move along “do not” stop at the stop signs as the traffic officer takes precedent over the signs.
