Lot of people driving on I-76, but hey, what’s your rush, man?

PHILADELPHIA, PA—At press time, 4:52 PM on Friday, July 28, 2017, The Box Turtle’s top-of-the-line traffic team is observing lots and lots of cars, trucks, and other motor vehicles on both the eastbound and westbound portions of Interstate Route 76. As a direct consequence, we are being told, all the vehicles have to move slower than the speed limit permits. Experts from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation indicate this is most likely due to a bunch of people leaving work around this time of day. PennDOT also claims that this is a predictable phenomenon in the system, known as “rush hour,” and that all is operating as normal. Analysts also warn that should people fail to act as if this is an expected phenomenon, they may be at a greater risk of moving their motor vehicles too fast and doing something that will cause themselves and all the other vehicles to move even more slowly.
