Sheesh! I have lived in my city for almost 7 years and, it has grown by leaps and bounds in those 7 years. If I remember correctly, last I heard it was between 5,000 and 10,000 people per year in the past 7 years. And, it shows in my little 8 mile commute to work. I live in a subdivision off of a pretty major highway in my city. Now, realistically, the county should have widened that road somewhere between 10 and 15 (if not more) years ago. As a result of not thinking ahead, traffic is really congested and they have been working on widening that road, too little too late, for the past year (give or take some). When I first moved to my city, it would take me 12 or 13 minutes to get to work, and the same amount of time to get home. Because of the widening of that road, it took me that same amount of time to get off at my exit ramp. I sat on that exit ramp and waited to make my turn onto that highway for 12 minutes today during my lunch break. Fantastic! I can not wait until they get done with the widening!
