I’ve been commuting to Boston for the past 20 years and Friday mornings have always had lighter traffic.

And now it's even lighter because people are WFH

Yes, this for sure -- but somehow leaving the city on Friday afternoon/evening can occasionally be as bad or worse than other weekdays. Bizarre.

Same with Sunday evening. It's weird.

Car wrecks --- they peak Friday afternoons.

My theory is that people get so focused / obsessed about what their weekend plans--- that they make more mistakes. Also distractions by texting people during commute for social / evening plans.

Seems like working on friday is a better idea if everyone else is WFH. Stay home on a different day with shit traffic.

The annoying thing is Friday night traffic isn't substantially better than other evenings. That's the real baffling part.

And honestly it seems like it starts going to shit by lunch.
93 and Pike at least start getting “evening” traffic so early.
Is everyone trying to get to Maine or the Cape at the same time or some fucking thing? Early lunches in town? Friday errand day for fucking everyone?

All the rich gotta get to their cape Beach homes early on the weekend.

This. It’s more noticeable since so many companies called people back in full time as of September, but a lot made the deal for Friday WFH or off.
