Traffic Montreal-style

Posted By: Barry Morgan · 10/3/2012 7:07:00 PM

I just have to vent about my traffic episode today. I'm sure many of you can relate.

I was driving to CJAD, located at Rene Levesque and Papineau, and for the most part, it's the usual commute. A little heavy on the traffic on the 40 East, the Decarie South wasn't too bad. Then I hop onto the Ville-Marie East and through the tunnel because I enjoy putting my life on the line under Montreal's infrastructure.

And then I'm approaching the Papineau exit and I see there's a long line to get off at Papineau. Alright, not much choice at that point but to grin and bear it.

The exit is about a one minute drive from CJAD, maybe two minutes. It took me 30 MINUTES. 30 MINUTES.

I'm used to Montreal traffic, but this was nuts. And if you're thinking it was possibly because of an accident, nope. Just traffic.

Does this surprise you? I couldn't believe it.
