If ever there was a silver lining to high gas prices, this just might be it: no traffic.
Well, okay, that might be hyperbolic, but we can at least assure you that this Labor Day weekend the roads won't be any more clogged than what you've already grown accustomed to in San Francisco.
While San Francisco has been ranked the third-most congested city in the U.S., traffic is expected to ease this holiday weekend, when our fair city will only be the sixth worst place for road-tripping, according to INRIX, a company that provides real-time traffic updates.
“We're predicting less delays resulting from fewer travelers leaving town for Labor Day compared to other cities,” said Jim Bak, INRIX director of Community Relations. “For those who are traveling, traffic will mirror a typical Friday rush hour.”
