Car Commuting
Commuting is another common form of driving. Commuters live in a city's suburbs or outlying areas, drive into the city to work every morning, then drive back home in the evening. They will always be concerned about traffic and congestion. Many roads are simply not equipped to handle so many people using them all at once. America is not centrally-planned, and even urban road systems that were once well-planned can become out of date. Every commuter develops his or her own traffic strategy. Radio stations have morning and evening "rush-hour" traffic reports--often given directly from a special traffic helicopter--which are very helpful in choosing the day's route and in avoiding traffic jams.
