If you look at the modern city at peak times from height of bird's flight, before the eyes will appear to be not too happy picture: almost all street-arteries clogged with threads "iron horses", sadly creeping or even standing without movement. The situation is aggravated in inclement weather, in hot weather and during the holidays.
More recently, the tubes were "prerogative"of cities, but today in our country there is hardly a more or less large city in which I would not know about this phenomenon.
However, it should be added that each city has their own idea of traffic jams. For example, what is the tube in Kirov, resident of St. Petersburg, or Moscow will seem just a little jam... but, somehow, familiar with traffic there. No wonder that in 2006, new road sign indicating a possible congestion on the course - it is in those areas where traffic jams have become a daily problem.
And if to take into account the steady growth of the Russian fleet, it is obvious that traffic on our century will suffice for all. So no choice other than to learn from this phenomenon to coexist.
It is noteworthy that most car owners, though dissatisfied with the tubes and the daily loss of time, to part with the car not want to. This is understandable: it is better to comfortably crawl in a crowd of other cars than to jump in crowded buses or spend the nerves in the crush tube. I must say that metro is in the cities where it is already long ceased to be a panacea, at least during peak hours. There are the same tube: at the entrance to the station, on the transitions on the way to the city. On buses, trolleybuses and minibuses does not speak: they are just crawling in traffic, only in their salons people are not as comfortable as those traveling in the car. Anyway, if you to the place of work or study, not walk, to abandon the use of the car is not worth it. And it is necessary to observe some rules that will not allow the tubes too much to spoil the life.
- Very common belief that the tube - case of nervous. And there is some truth to it. Long jams irritate when somewhere in a hurry and running late. Therefore, it is better to go with some reserve time in Moscow, it is an hour and a half at least) so it will be quieter.
- Nervous, very crucial factor can also be the behavior of other drivers. Not all have the patience and education to keep calm: there will always be a few characters that will climb, cut, and even yelling at others swear words (cases where the climb to fight and beat the glass is still rare, fortunately! ). Such provocation is better not to resist. Miss ham - let goes and makes a problem, if he wants. It's even easier - will be farther away from you.
- Large vehicles (buses, trolley-buses, trucks) is better, too, miss. They are big, they are harder to maneuver and delays exacerbate the tube stronger than delay and uncertain actions of passenger cars. As they say, miss - and you will be rewarded, today, missed you - tomorrow will give way to you.
- Forecasting situation is an important factor when driving in traffic. Novice drivers is difficult to foresee the situation at 100-200 meters ahead, but you should try to watch at least a few cars ahead: who where rebuilt, in which row more the delay, maybe some car broke down, etc., Good, time in traffic on it enough.
To stand in the tube is harmful to health. The concentration of exhaust gases in the crowd of cars exceeds the norm dozens of times and all of these have to breathe. Here are a few that you can do about it - except to turn on the "closed loop", if it is in your car - when this mode in beauty gets only 5% of fresh air. Doctors recommend that upon arrival in the destination to drink milk or mineral water to help the body bring harmful substances, which you "swallowed" in the tube.
- Do not try to accelerate the process and avoid the stopper by any means. For leaving the opposite lane can be deprived of his rights for a period of up to six months (not to mention the danger of such actions), for driving on the sidewalk - "get it" a considerable fine. Whether the game is worth the candle?
Sometimes urban channels specially relieve episodes of "detour popular cork. In every town there are radio stations that monitor the presence of tubes and regularly report them in the air. There is a "Yandex-Tube and other Internet services (although not always, the information in them is accurate and road conditions can change faster than updates).
- In some places you can find advice about alternative routes: need to know multiple paths to the destination. The Board is good, but not in every case it works because there are places, which leads only one way... In this case remains the same exit - to leave earlier.
In addition to the above, in the tubes to stand... just boring! It is this factor that mark most drivers. However, ways to have fun in traffic experienced motorists invented already. Some offer such witty variants like "to sell the car and buy the car closer to the traffic light" or "little drink, you still have time to sober up, until you start to go". Seriously, the driver in the tube should not be distracted from the road: often the flow albeit slowly, but it is going. However this does not prevent them from making a huge number of cases:
- Talking on the phone (with the device hands-free) - you can call wherever've been going, but never got to it, to communicate with those who have not heard, to solve some questions over the phone, anything.
- About audiobooks and CDs with lessons of foreign languages known to all. In fact, this industry has evolved mainly because the drivers.
- You can simply listen to your favorite music. Especially if there is not enough time to make it home.
- You can just sit and think. How many time we still have to think in a crazy rhythm of life today?
- If the receiver supports viewing photos, you can once again indulge in pleasant memories (and today in many models of receivers has slots for memory cards photoopportunities).
- If in a car you are not alone - this is a good opportunity to socialize with passageway. Especially if you are traveling to other members of your family - remember when was the last time you spoke from the heart?
- If the tube was delayed, you can do exercises for the arms and back, stretch your muscles. There are special exercises to perform while driving. It is in principle useful, because if you keep driving in a sitting position, blood stagnates in the vessels and its a good idea to periodically "to disperse".
Especially tedious traffic jams tend to be for children. If adults don't always have the patience that talking about young passengers? In this case, you should think about car TV, DVD player or game console with access to the monitors in the backs of the front seats. The TV or monitor connected to the DVD recorder will help you to have fun and adult passengers. Many residents of large cities have already got such devices is no longer a luxury but rather a necessity.
...And, for example, my sister in traffic deals... vocals! Carries with him a CD with songs and as soon as gets into a jam, put the disc in the recorder and starts to sing. By the way, in summer, when Windows are opened with the singing (and well, it should be noted, singing) girl immediately begin to meet men "neighbors" on the tube. Incidentally, in traffic jams often occur interesting acquaintances - the Internet is full of such stories! Today, without exaggeration, in the tube, you can meet your fate! This is not surprising because today we spend in traffic jams, a considerable part of his life. And this, apparently, will have to accept - it is better to just not be in the near future. Well, peace to all the tubes and secure them overcome!
