traffic

Road construction crews will be out starting today (Tuesday, February, 4th) repairing potholes along 787 and Route 9. Expect some delays and rotating lane closures.

One of the driving fundamentals is to never pass on the right and to always pass on the left. That's why the left lane is commonly called the "passing lane," but that's not how everyone uses it, unless a NYS lawmaker has his way.

If you have ever traveled in Clifton Park to go to a show at Upstate Concert Hall or to bring the kids to Clifton Common sports fields, you know that particular area is very congested. Construction has begun to alleviate the problem.

The picture started quickly trending yesterday on Facebook of the beautiful change made to a Central Ave crosswalk to celebrate love of all kinds.

Whether you are traveling toward the Clifton Common or to Upstate Concert Hall, this may actually make the traffic flow a little better. Even though I am not a fan of roundabouts, this may alleviate some of the congestion.

When you are on the road, especially when you are traveling for vacation or a summer road trip, you hope that other motorists are focusing on the roads and not texting or using their phones. Well another state has decided to be creative and funny with their highway signs in an effort to get drivers to focus.

A huge campaign began on Monday to crack down on drivers and passengers to buckle up. I can't imagine not buckling up whenever I get in the car and now police will be out in full force making sure you do.

I know this has happened to you. You are driving down the road and all of a sudden you see this black long tube all the way across it. You drive over it with no problem but then you wonder, what the heck is that black tube used for and why on this road?

So a year or so ago when I got my first manual transmission car I was ecstatic. Other drivers make it angering though.

A law many should know, little think about on the road, and many are ignorant about. Myself included.

There have been multiple accidents on Cohoes Boulevard since 2000 and the most recent fatal accident happened just last year. There have been several plans proposed to revamp that area at the end of 787 and the latest have been revealed.

Have you felt like your commute has gotten longer recently?
