Rush hour

Traffic in Baton Rouge is bad. It’s not a figment of our collective imagination. It’s not an opinion. It’s a fact, well documented and supported by data. Consider: Baton Rouge is the second-most congested of comparable midsize cities in the U.S. It ranks fourth among peer cities in excess fuel consumption per commuter. Its motorists pay the equivalent of a “congestion tax” that amounts to $1,000 per year, thanks to the time and fuel wasted in bumper-to-bumper traffic on maxed-out roadways. For

while new infrastructure to sustain them follows slowly behind in a dragging effect. To worsen the problem, these new businesses have new employees who travel on the same roads at the same time of day, which further leads to congestion during peak hours (Winaisathaporn). It is important to understand that traffic congestions are more than an annoyance to the daily commuter, but a huge negative externality on society. A negative externality is a cost imposed on a person due to the productivity or actions

Traffic in Miami can be frustrating for many drivers. With the large number of tourists who visit the city each year, along with the many people who work, live and commute in the city, getting around can take much longer than it should. Often, people who live in the city plan their schedules around heavy-traffic times to avoid getting stuck and wasting time in traffic. In particular, the South Dixie Highway, the US-95, the Dolphin Expressway, Florida's Turnpick, and many surface streets seem to have

Small et al. (1997) provide a summary of theoretical on the review of congestion measures demonstrated at the outset of this project that a number of different approaches are used to quantify the level of congestion for an urban area. Although there are a number of different congestion measures, travel time measures offer the best means for estimating the economic impacts of the congestion. There are several reasons for this: 1. Travel time corresponds directly to the traveler’s experience of congestion

Traffic congestion is a major urban issue and is not only environmentally harmful, but also costs the travelers time and money. For these reasons, most of the cities in the world offer public transportation methods so that more people can be moved efficiently to the same destination at once. However, people living outside of these cities need to be inside of it in order to gain access to the benefits of public transportation. Therefore, it has become an important project for Europe to offer travelers

Reaching record highs, Atlanta’s congestion has put enough drain on economic development to warrant the need for immediate action. It’s has become necessary to develop any policies that could help alleviate some of the burden on roadways. Exploring the issue, there are four possible policies that have been examined to reduce congestion in Atlanta. Each policy has its costs and benefits, and strengths and weaknesses looked at under a critical gaze to determine which, if any, policy is up to the task

The three-part movie series “Rush Hour” uses stereotypical references, gender, race, male gaze, and intersectionality throughout each of the three movies. The other significant impact of the film series is that the main characters were not white males, they were minorities. The stereotypical references used throughout the trilogy use all kinds, from Asian jokes, black jokes, female jokes, etc. It is one of the funny childhood movies I remember watching growing up as a kid, and never understood that

“Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth”. Chris Tucker said this to Jackie Chan in the 1998 movie Rush Hour. Rush Hour was about two police officers from different cultures who could not communicate effectively. Effective communication is essential in all aspects of life from work to personal relationships. It is easy for a slight miscommunication to cause a massive problem. Effective communication is important because it ensures a message is conveyed properly, it allows for

The poem I have selected is “Rush Hour Tokyo” by Joy Kogawa. This poem explores the city of Tokyo, which is located in Japan. Tokyo is known for its bullet trains, landmarks such as the Tokyo Tower and the Tokyo Sky-tree, and being very busy.Subject Matter The poem represents Tokyo as a city that is over populated, which leads to congestion but the population keeps growing. The poem explores Tokyo in relation to its congestion and quality of life. The persona’s attitude to the city is best described

Silence during rush hour… everything stopped. What was it? These were the last thoughts to go through my adolescent mind. These very few minutes of my whole eighteen years of living have always come back to mind whenever I revisit my memories about life and death and how I should cherish life for what I have. That day changed my views; my views on people and of people as individuals, having lives separate from my own very censored life until that point. This day started out like any other Saturday
