Sometimes I really don't understand traffic.

Today it took me 50 minutes to get to work-- it usually takes me half that time. I was bumper-to-bumper for about 30 minutes trying to get onto the Richmond Bridge. About 1000 feet after I got onto the bridge everyone went from 5 mph to about 50 mph, with no explanation why. There were no cars off to the side of the bridge, no construction people, nothing...

But I can't really complain about my commute... usually I can go as fast as I want on my way to work.
