I can never see any reason for it such as a break-down. WTH is going on?
It's the construction with the entering lanes blindly feeding in.

I don't understand something about all DFW metroplex traffic (re: I35, DNT, 75)

In the morning, northbound is easy and southbound is a mess.
In the evening, northbound is a mess and southbound is still a mess.

Just doing math...it seems that there are always more people headed south? Huh?

I-35 and 183 seem to be this way. Traffic seems to be backwards with heavy traffic leaving downtown in the morning and heavy coming toward downtown in the evening.

Must be all those south Dallas people headed to jobs up north and Las Colinas.

That's the weirdest thing. It's unreal how packed 114W in Irving and 35N coming out of downtown get every single morning. I'm so glad it's not reversed...like it is in every other major city.
I'm going 70 the opposite direction.

A big gap is very useful to smooth out the traffic and actually speed up the average speed. You should be thanking them.
