Now, let’s talk about the orange barrels. You know, those plastic gods that demand your worship and patience. On I-95 North, construction is less a project and more a permanent lifestyle choice. The signs say "Road work ends 2026," but we all know that’s a lie. That date is aspirational.
I’m convinced there’s a secret government training facility hidden under Exit 41 where they teach workers how to hold a sign that says “SLOW” while looking incredibly bored. The fun fact? One lane closure can reduce traffic flow by 50%. So one guy with a shovel can ruin the commute of 10,000 people. That’s power you should never have.

The Peak Hour Pile-Up
You are one of 107 million people driving every day in the U.S. And you all chose 5:00 PM on a Tuesday. It’s like everyone looked at the clock and thought, "Yes, this is the perfect moment to merge across three lanes." It’s not a traffic jam; it’s a social experiment on how many people can honk before their sanity cracks.
Remember that I-95 is an artery. And right now, that artery is clogged with a giant cheeseburger made of pickup trucks and Priuses. The cure? There isn’t one. You just have to embrace the slow lane and listen to a podcast about serial killers to feel better about your life.
