Someone just told me they read that at 6PM at any given place in the US, there is more traffic than any other time of day. I don't agree. What are you normally doing that time of day? I'm usually home from work, eating dinner.
I'd think the busiest would be at 5 pm????????

That seems a bit odd to me too...I'm usually done dinner by that point, I eat around 4 or 5. If I can I like to be at home by 6 relaxing

I'm usually still at work...I don't get done until 7 and the people I babysit for don't get off of their jobs until 6. Or I should say, they don't LEAVE their jobs until 6.

If I lived more than 2 miles from work, I would probably be in my car.
I get off of work at 5:30 and am usually home checking emails and stuff on the home computer at 6:00.

I commute a pretty far distance, and yes, the traffic at 6 pm is 10x as bad as at 5 pm.

I agree, 6 around here is worse than 5!

Usually by 6 I like to be @ the Y, or just getting done swimming laps!

Movin' on up!
I get off work at 5:30 and have a 5-minute commute home. At 6 p.m., I'm sitting in traffic, cussing the idiots who don't know how to drive.

Depends on the day. Today I worked until 6:45. Tomorrow will be 5:30, given no emergencies come up...at 6 on a normal day, yep, making dinner too!

Three days of the week I'm in class at 6 PM, the other two days I'm generally still at the office- but I don't go in until about 11, usually. I set my own hours, just have to get 15 hrs a week. Its a pretty good deal!

Normally at 6 pm I have finished dinner and am watching the news.

Cooking dinner. But last night I had to pick Lee up from work and he gets off at 6 and traffic was far worse on the same roads at six than 4:30 or 5.

Last night, at 6pm, I was doing my Pilates video. Tonight I hope to be doing the same.

Normally, at 6pm, I'm either at home or at my second job. I get out of work (my first job) at 4:45pm, and traffic isn't too horrible.
