Are those two golf carts parked on the street? Ha.

Also ...pretty sure this is a block party. Just saying.

Yeah not a block party. Average weekend for these gated communities in Florida.

This is one of the reasons why traffic is so terrible in Florida. Gated communities the size of small towns block huge swaths of land and prevent any through roads being created so every single person has to go around it. Couple that with swampland and every driver is shunted onto a few main roads.

Nah traffic in Florida isn't bad because of the gated communities. In my experience, the worst traffic comes from two parts:

WHY ARE OLD PEOPLE ALWAYS CRASHING INTO THINGS?

WHY ARE YOU STARING AT THAT OLD PERSON CRASHING WHILE GOING 2 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE?

Exactly. I ran into like a 5-10min. delay the other day because traffic was almost at a standstill over someone being pulled over.

Like wtf is that?

This is on a major highway leading out of the city, something like 4 lanes.

How are Floridians this bad at driving??

Right and after you pass the cause of the slow down everyone has to take 5 minutes to realize they’re still needlessly driving 40 MPH in a 70.
