I live on Lake Shore Dr. near Wrigley. Every morning and evening, the rush hour traffic on Lake Shore local moves very smoothly without any assistance from the "traffic control" idiots. Yet when there is a Cubs game, these idiots manage to create complete gridlock. It's not uncommon to get stuck for several light cycles in a line of cars that can't move through an intersection because it's completely blocked by cross traffic -- which can't move because the intersection a block away has been blocked by cross traffic. I wish they'd eliminate these idiots altogether. [/vent]
