Encountered multiple traffic delays on the way home. I thought it would be smooth sailing since I was going home rather late at night but that wasn't to be. The Southern State Parkway itself was the cause of one of the traffic delays. There is a rise Eastbound between Exits 18 and 17. What happens is someone sees a horizon all of a sudden (Oh no! We're about to drive off the edge of the Earth!) and taps on the brakes. That sets off a chain reaction of brake-tapping until traffic comes nearly to a standstill. And this problem is only going to get worse as the volume of traffic increases.
