Description
Every dingbat day the Blue Route is logjammed from I-95 to Route 1 for no other reason then merging traffic. For the love of Mike, please expand the poorly engineered and outdated highway known as the Blue Route. It takes one hour to complete a thirty minute drive (don't make me mention southbound problems on summer Fridays for the same two lane reason!)

It's absolutely ridiculous that I often spend more than an hour on the Blue Route, making what is actually an 18-minute commute, when there is no legitimate cause or emergency other than sheer volume.
A lot of it has to do with dumb drivers, too. Did you ever notice the traffic simply vanish, without an exit in sight? It's AMAZING what a handful of people who don't know how to efficiently drive on heavily populated roadways can do to mess up the entire flow.
Know what I started doing? Flooring it up the shoulder. If you won't fix it, then I'll adapt and find a way around it.

As for the southbound problems on Friday afternoon, that is largely because I-95 south is backed up also, plus the fact that that the ramp from 476 to 95 south is pretty ridiculous (three lanes merge into one, then have about a mile to merge onto 95.
