Portland highways are reaching and practically exceeding capacity making traffic even worse. \u00a0Traffic has increased\u00a06.3%\u00a0just this year. That increase is twice the national average and it is just getting worse.<\/p>\n
Each month the count of vehicles on the road increases and sets new records.<\/p>\n
With the economy growing and more people moving to Oregon, it is making traffic and commuting much worse.<\/p>\n
Traffic congestion is not only apparent during rush hour but it happens all day, on weekends, and even in areas that you wouldn\u2019t normally think of as congested.<\/p>\n
People are finding their commutes to work are taking more time than they used to, causing them to have to leave even earlier to head to work.<\/p>\n
With more people on the road, the risk of getting into an accident increases. We encourage everyone to stay alert, slow down, and don\u2019t use your cell phones. Just because traffic is increasing, doesn\u2019t mean the rate of vehicle accidents needs to follow.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
