As of lately, holy smokes, massive freeway construction that sometimes gets you stuck during the worst times. You need to get somewhere in a timely normal manner and you see signs and cones up ahead that are funneling three lanes into one! What do you do? There's just one word: EXIT!
But wait! Do you know where you're going??? If you exit the freeway can you effectively weave your way through the city and across town to your destination? Well, start to get familiar with alternate routes in Vegas. Sometimes you may have time to ride the break and to stick it out on the freeways at turtle pace but sometimes you just can't take the risk.
It's not only knowing one alternative route, sometimes you run into other uber-smart locals who have also decided on the alt route. Now what do you do? Plan C! Know a second alternative route. This becomes extra handy in the long run.
Traffic in itself, even without construction, has gotten pretty crazy over the last few years. In a city that also never sleeps, certain parts of the day are when many shifts let out and it causes some clogging of the highways. Yes, I can say that the freeway on ramp meters have helped but when it comes to lane sways and mergers, it hasn't cured that.
Sometimes getting lost is the best way to discover. Go on an adventure and experiment. Get off the freeway and see if you can find your way to your destination. Experience in this is key because it may one day save you a lot of grief.
