If you’ve been maintaining a commute over the last few months you might have found Connecticut roadways to be a little less crowded and a little easier to maneuver. That is all about to change as more and more businesses re-open andcommuters get back on the road to work.
You may find yourself frustrated with the new traffic that has suddenly appeared on your route to work, but rest assured this is what it was like just a few short months ago. That being said there are a few things you can do to keep yourself from experiencing the devastating effects of road rage that sometimes come from sitting in traffic.
-
Plan your route. While you may be used to a certain route to get to work, there may be alternatives that are less crowded. These alternative routes may take a few extra minutes but if it saves your sanity it may be worth it.
-
Bring something good to listen to. Whether it’s your favorite playlist, an audiobook, or a new podcast you just discovered having something to listen to and take your mind off of the traffic in front of you can calm your nerves and ease the tension that comes with the busier commute.
-
Adjust your schedule. If you are able to have some flexibility at work with what time you go in and what time you come home it may be in your best interest to try to reschedule your day just slightly to get a better time to travel. The difference of ten minutes could make your commute even easier.
Road rage is a very difficult thing to avoid. You’re already eager to get to work and start your day when your commute slows you down. However, road rage is something that can very easily lead to a Connecticut auto accident. Following some of these simple steps may help reduce your stress and allow you to continue to have a more relaxing commute into the office.
