"At the Wall Street Journal on retro style cocktails like Cosmos and fuzzy navels. Getting a modern makeover. Well, while Americans are gradually getting back to some semblance of normal traffic data suggests that the morning drive has changed drastically, and it may never go back to pre covid patterns. Nathan Bomi, reporter at USA Today says Rush hour isn't quite so rushed in the early morning hours anymore, Nathan, What do we have? Everyone knows that traffic dropped pretty sharply in the beginning of the pen that make it felt like nobody was out on the road. There in April. 2020, for example. But you know, the fact is that actually, traffic continues to be down and they feel like it's come back. It certainly has come back a lot from those early drops. But it hasn't come back in full. And you know what people have pointed out is like a 10% decline in traffic is noticeable. So for starters received an overall decline still, and maybe that will continue to crawl back, but with the fact that people are increasingly having the option to work from home in many cases, you know, we're expecting to see that have a permanent effect on traffic flow and essentially the rush hour. Is going to change how so? What's it gonna look like now? Well, you know, what we think is going to happen is that you know, basically with the a version of what we're seeing now, probably after Labor Day when many people go back to the office of least as long as things had continued to head as they are right now, you know what will likely happen is that people will be driving a little later in the morning than the usual and that's because If you have more flexibility built into your work schedule, then you're much more likely to be able to leave a little bit later in the morning. So, for example, say you start a meeting at the office at eight o'clock, and then you Take the kids to childcare at nine. And then you head into work at Ted. Now you're in. You're on the road at nine a.m.. Instead of being on the road at seven A.m. or 80. And so what That means is traffic is going little later in the morning and Earlier might be a little bit less traffic and later might be a little bit more. But in the middle, you might have a little less to speak with Nathan Bomi business reporter at USA Today. His pieces called has Rush Hour forever changed. Following the pandemic, I thought as part of the drill down to is interesting that it might be specific days sometimes where traffic is better or worse. Yeah, I think that's important to mention because we're hearing conversations about companies providing these hybrid work arrangements to their workers were essentially you might work a couple days at the office in a given week and then a couple days at home and I think naturally, The expectation at least from the governor's Highway Safety Association is that people are going to be a little more likely to work from home on Mondays and Fridays. And so if that happens across the board, you can see mothers in Friday's actually have noticeably less track volume. And Tuesday through Thursday. Now we know that that's not going to be the case across the board, and it may not be the case for many people, but even again, even if you have a 5 to 10% of people doing that sort of thing that can make a big difference, because one expert pointed out that when you think about your usual summer traffic when you don't have Kids going to school, for example, and teachers going to work that that actually has a noticeable effect. We all know what happens when you get to September. All of a sudden, it feels like there's a lot of traffic again. That's only a 5 to 10% decline, but that gives you a sense. How much of an impact that could have if we have a 5 to 10% decline in traffic permanently on the roads going forward, And is it true that the roads are more dangerous now? Yeah, And I think that that's the big downside here. And I think a lot of people don't really understand the fact that although there has been less traffic, there have been more debts, at least in terms of per trip. So essentially, if you go out there, your chances of getting into a deadly accident are actually much higher. And they were before the pandemic, and that's primarily because people are speeding. I mean, this is a bit of a crisis where because the roads are open, people are hidden the gas and you know somebody some cases. Enjoy rides and that sort of thing And so you know, obviously be careful out there and the police aren't really cracking down. They have other priorities right now, so I think people realize they can get away with it. Will police eventually start cracking down again? Yeah. I mean, you have to wonder because, you know, I think one thing we don't fucking up in this country about the fact that you know it's a public safety crisis, the fact that more than 35,000 people a year Dying in traffic crashes and the fact that it's that number has been stubbornly high. Despite the fact that vehicle safety technology has improved considerably in recent years, you know, and pedestrian safety is a huge crisis. And so you know, we all know that probably in the future autonomous vehicles will dramatically improve that. We're not there yet. And until we get there, we have to do something. Thanks.

Getting a modern makeover. Well, while Americans are gradually getting back to some semblance of normal traffic data suggests that the morning drive has changed drastically, and it may never go back to pre covid patterns. Nathan Bomi, reporter at USA Today says Rush hour isn't quite so rushed in the early morning hours anymore, Nathan, What do we have? Well, everyone knows that traffic dropped pretty sharply in the beginning of the pen that make it felt like nobody was out on the road. There in April. 2020, for example. But you know, the fact is that actually, traffic continues to be down and they feel like it's come back. It certainly has come back a lot from those early drops, but it hasn't come back in full. And you know what people have pointed out is like a 10% decline in traffic is noticeable. So for starters, we're seeing an overall decline. Still and maybe that will continue to crawl back, but with the fact that people are increasingly having the option to work from home in many cases, you know, we're expecting to see that have a permanent effect on traffic flow. And essentially, the rush hour is going to change. So what's it gonna look like now? Well, you know, what we think is going to happen is that you know, Basically, we'll see a version of what we're seeing now, probably after Labor Day when many people go back to the office of least as long as things had continued to head as they are right now, you know what will likely happen is that people will be driving a little later in the morning than the usual and that's because If you have more flexibility built into your work schedule, then you're much more likely to be able to leave a little bit later in the morning. So, for example, say you start a meeting at the office at eight o'clock, and then you Take the kids to childcare at nine. And then you head into work at Ted. Now you're in. You're on the road at nine a.m. instead of being on the road at seven A.m. or 80. And so what That means is traffic is going a little later in the morning and earlier might be a little bit less traffic and later it might be a little bit more. But in the middle, you might have a little less to speak with Nathan Bomi Business reporter at USA Today. His pieces called has Rush hour forever changed. Following the pandemic, I thought as part of the drill down to is interesting that it might be specific days sometimes where traffic is better or worse. Yeah, I think that's important to mention because we're hearing conversations about companies providing these hybrid work arrangements to their workers where essentially you might work a couple days at the office in a given week and then a couple days at home, and I think naturally, the expectation leads from the Governor's Highway Safety Association is that People are going to be a little more likely to work from home on Mondays and Friday. And so if that happens across the board, you can see mothers in Friday's actually have noticeably less traffic volume. And Tuesday through Thursday. Now we know that that's not going to be the case across the board, and it may not be the case for many people, but even again, even if you have a 5 to 10% of people doing that sort of thing that can make a big difference, because one expert pointed out that when you think about your usual summer traffic when you don't have kids going to school, for example, and teachers going to work that that actually has an older school effect, we all know what happens when you get to September. All of a sudden, it feels like there's a lot Traffic again. That's only a 5 to 10% decline. But that gives you a sense for how much of an impact that could have if we have a 5 10% decline in traffic permanently on the roads going forward. Is it true that the roads are more dangerous now? Yeah, And I think that that's the big downside here. And I think a lot of people don't really understand the fact that although there has been less traffic, there have been more debts, at least in terms of her trip. So essentially, if you go out there, your chances of getting into a deadly accident are actually much higher. And they were before the pandemic, and that's primarily because people are speeding. I mean, this is a a bit of a crisis where because the roads are open, people are hidden the gas and you know somebody some cases. Enjoy rides and that sort of thing And so you know, obviously be careful out there and the police aren't really cracking down. They have other priorities right now, so I think people realize they can get away with it. Will police eventually start cracking down again? You know, I mean, you have to wonder because, you know, I think one thing we don't talking up in this country about is the fact that you know it's a public safety crisis, the fact that more than 35,000 people a year Dying in traffic crashes and the fact that it's that number has been stubbornly high. Despite the fact that vehicle safety technology has improved considerably in recent years, you know, and pedestrian safety is a huge crisis. And so you know, we all know that probably in the future autonomous vehicles will dramatically improve that. We're not there yet. And until we get there, we have to do something. Thanks. Nathan. Nathan Comey, Business reporter at USA Today, Coming up next working from home with noisy kids this summer. Mm. I struggled with symptoms like frequent gas and stomach pain. For years, I was bloated all the time with daily diarrhea. At first I thought it was when I was eating. I kept thinking it was stomach issues. So I did my research and.

"Of new jersey studies and then they're pulling black people over then. Finally there is a study and the study was put out only about almost a decade later. And what the study found is that a very high percentage of the speeders were black. Ray turns out that that black drivers were just driving faster. As a general rule the white drivers were according to this particular study. Right it was it was an actual justice department study in conjunction with the state offices of new jersey and what they found was leaked to the new york times. What they found is that while black drivers were making about sixteen percents of the drivers on the new jersey turnpike twenty. Five percents of the speeders in the sixty five mph zone were profiling complaints. Were the most common were black red black drivers sped about twice as much as drivers and sped it reckless levels even more in fact according to that particular justice department study blacks where she stopped less than their speeding behavior would predict there about twenty three percents of those stop so all this is to not make any linkage between genetic skin color and how fast you drive but if the question is which groups of people are driving the fastest american life and how does that link to traffic stops. You might think that that might be like a consideration in the washington post piece. No they won't even going to consider it in fat and especially they weren't going to consider it because if that were in fact the problem if the problem were a disproportionate number of people are speeding in a particular area. Therefore higher number people are dying in that particular area. More people are driving recklessly in this particular therefore people are dying the answer to that right the very easy policy answer to that is okay. She set up a speed trap. Right you get a bunch of cops. Put them in the area and signed a lot of traffic tickets because you create an incentive structure where it makes no sense to speed right that that is the that is the perfect obvious policy solution. The washington post does not want that policy solution so they go out of their way to find alternative explanations that are far less explained like they literally do not even posit the possibility that people are speeding at higher rates on a coral and of level with regard to race either. They're saying that you can measure traffic deaths as it on the basis of race. We can't measure traffic behavior on the basis of race. Which seems like you're ignoring. Hannibal rather large factory. Not that sort of like the move that that people in the media are constantly making where they look big techno like well. They're just not enough engineers. Who are in big tech or black right but how many qualified applicants are coming from black community for qualified engineers to be in big tech and they just ignore that they won't even put that in the story even though that is vast majority of the explanation rate is not. The big tech is going around like well. I have an equally qualified black person and white person. I'm picking the white person. No one in big tech is doing that. They're doing precisely the opposite. So here's how the washington post tries to explain this discrepancy a new analysis of deaths on. Us roads found the black people were killed in traffic. Crashes at a rate almost twenty five percent and white people in recent years a disparity that appears to have worsened during the coronavirus pandemic last year was especially grim on the roads. The number of miles driven decreased as many people stayed home yet. Traffic deaths rose seven percent. According to the national highway traffic safety administration in large part because of people driving faster and empty highways. Okay so right off the bat. They're acknowledging that when people drive faster you end up with more people dead right. So they're not. This is true across abroad population but we cannot even measure the traffic behavior differential between groups when trying to explain tragic death differential between groups because to do so would imply a solution they don't want and we're also implied that racism isn't the problem is you don't have to tear down the entire system. The number of people killed according to the washington post climbed twenty three percent. The reason for the spike in black dots is not noted in the report but experts say The experts experts say just as the virus itself spread more readily through communities of color. The increase was probably a result of existing inequities being compounded or possibly it was result of the the differential and behavior being compounded because if you have more people who are speeding on the roads during this time generally you're going to end up with more people who speed as a percentage of that being killed researchers have previously concluded. The black communities tend to be crisscrossed by more dangerous roads during the pandemic people of color were more likely to be employed essential. Jobs that the option to stay home people were driving faster. Mid lower traffic levels meant crashes. Were more likely to be deadly. Okay so the basic premise here is that the roads are racist right the roads because they're in poor communities and because these are bigger roads with your trees people tend to be more on those rows that this is the real rationale so presumably. We should have traffic bottlenecks in these areas. Which i'm not sure. How many other problems having to do with the economy having to transport if you're living in in a poor area with your businesses you need to get to work actually. Don't want your lanes on the roads but put all that aside the basic notion that this has to do with race as opposed to with class is another con- found it turns out the poorer areas very often are criss crossed with more dangerous roads. I mean those poor areas generally exist around for example highways because people who are richard. Don't wanna live next to highways and people who are richer. Don't wanna live next to big rose with lots of traffic. Which is why people are richard. Tend to move out to the suburbs for example. The nhtsa estimated that thirty eight thousand six hundred eighty people were killed in crashes nationwide last year said seven thousand four hundred ninety. Four of them were black. A new study released tuesday by the governors highway. Safety association highlights the disparities. It analyzed data from twenty fifteen to twenty nineteen right to not including the pandemic and found in different types of traffic crashes. Lack people were killed at rates higher than white people. Black pedestrians killed at a rate twice as high. And so who is who is driving. Cars would be relevant and what levels of of speed were they attaining while they were driving the cars and by the way. What was the behavior of the right. These are all relevant factors to whether people are being killed in traffic accidents or not and none of these factors are taken into account in the washington. Post none charles brown professor at rutgers university school of planning and public policy so the figures leave at transportation officials facing a simple question quote. We've.

Maybe most people were sent home toe work If they could work from home and supposed going into the office schools were going the motive. So the highways that's the side streets were essentially empty. Well, unfortunately, Tony, A lot of people took advantage of that to step up their speed. They put the hammer down and and ended up in a lot more high speed crashes and even after Some of the closures were lifted and businesses got back up and running.
