    Default Road Warning!

    Roads are so bad.
    If you work in downtown take the train.
    It took me 35 minutes to get from downtown to the NE with no traffic. There is so much snow you cant even drive faster than 30km or you just start to spin and slide.

    im sure they will have most of it cleaned up in an hour and a half but all the other roads leading into downtown are going to be bad. memorial for example i couldnt go faster than 50km no matter how smooth i accelerated i just spun like shit.

    If you do drive...DRIVE SAFE

    Just gotta beat the rush. If you leave before 6 in the morning, traffic is usually pretty good.

    oh it wasnt that bad....come on now lol i took me no longer then it normally would say last week. still 25-35 mins for me from the NW to downtown. i dont blame the roads. i blame the bad drives making the roads more unsafe. people driving 30KPM under the speed limit causes accidents. the roads are not that bad that you have to go 30 under.

    one thing i hate about winter drivers most are scared and yet still drive on the roads.
