Michael Smith+FollowDFW drivers face icy roads and major closuresIcy roads are still causing chaos across DFW, especially near Grand Prairie and Grapevine. Even with some melting, bridges and overpasses remain slick with black ice—making them the riskiest spots for accidents. This morning, two big rigs crashed on eastbound Hwy 114 at Hwy 121, shutting down the highway for hours. While I-30 has reopened, several major routes are still closed, and officials are urging everyone to stay home if possible. If you must drive, go slow, avoid cruise control, and keep extra distance. How are these conditions affecting your plans today? Share your experiences and tips below! #Transportation #DFWTraffic #WinterWeather10Share
Kevin Nicholson+FollowWhy left-lane hogging makes driving riskierLeft-lane hogging isn’t just annoying—it’s actually making our roads more dangerous and slowing everyone down. In Michigan, the left lane is for passing only, but too many drivers treat it like their personal cruise lane, causing traffic jams and encouraging aggressive driving. Emergency vehicles need that lane clear, and more crashes—including wrong-way accidents—happen there. Even new drivers are being taught to stay right unless passing. If we all moved over and kept the left lane for passing, traffic would flow smoother and safer for everyone. What’s your take—should there be stricter enforcement or more public reminders? #Transportation #drivingetiquette #roadsafety10Share
Peter Castillo+FollowDetroit drivers hit hard by hidden potholesMassive potholes on Gratiot Avenue near I-75 are wrecking tires and wallets—sometimes within minutes. Locals are sharing stories of blowing out tires and shelling out hundreds for repairs, all because these craters are tough to spot under snow and debris. Some drivers have been hit multiple times just this winter, raising real concerns about safety and affordability. The Michigan Department of Transportation says crews are stretched thin with winter weather, but residents are calling for more urgent fixes. Have you or someone you know had a run-in with these potholes? How should the city tackle this ongoing problem? #Transportation #Detroit #Potholes00Share
Kevin Nicholson+FollowMonkeys on Bengaluru Metro: What’s next?Monkeys have become unexpected fellow passengers on Bengaluru’s Namma Metro, hopping onto platforms and even inside train cars during rush hour. It’s not just a quirky sight—commuters are worried about safety, with some even avoiding empty seats and platform corners. The main culprit? Food waste and snacks left behind, which are drawing these animals into the city’s transit system. Wildlife experts are urging stricter rules on food and litter to keep both people and monkeys safe. Have you ever seen wildlife in unexpected places around the city? How should we balance urban life with nature? #Transportation #Bengaluru #NammaMetro00Share
Anne Clark+FollowThis Bus 'Refreshment' Is a Plastic FailEver gotten a so-called 'refreshment' on a bus and just thought... why? One passenger shared pics of a mini plastic water cup (think pudding cup vibes) that’s even worse than a regular bottle—totally single-use, zero chance to reuse. People are annoyed because it’s just more pointless plastic waste, and refusing it doesn’t help since someone else will just take it. Wouldn’t a refill station be so much better? Time for bus companies to get the memo! #Transportation #PlasticWaste #EcoFriendly00Share
Michael Smith+FollowWhy cars are shaking on NJ highways todayHighway drives across New Jersey have turned unexpectedly bumpy after the recent storm, with cars suddenly shaking once they hit speed.

If this happens, don’t risk stopping on a busy shoulder; wait for a safe spot to clear the ice. Has anyone else had to pull over and dig out their wheels this week?

Michael Smith+FollowWarming Up Your Car? You Could Get Fined!Thought you were being smart by letting your car idle to warm up in the cold? Turns out, you could get slapped with a hefty fine (up to $500!) in many states thanks to “anti-puffing” laws. Not only is it illegal in a bunch of places, but leaving your car running and unattended is basically an open invite for thieves. Some states give you 5 minutes, others none at all—so check the rules before you get cozy! #Transportation #WinterDriving #CarTips00Share
EtherElk+FollowWhy Albuquerque’s buses are worth a second lookFree rides, cleaner buses, and more frequent service—Albuquerque’s public transit is stepping up in a big way. ABQ Ride’s new campaign is all about making buses a real option again, with routes restored to pre-2019 levels and extra weekend and evening trips. The city’s putting serious effort into safety and reliability, and the numbers show people are taking notice: nearly 7.5 million rides in the past year! If you’ve written off the bus before, now might be the perfect time to give it another shot. What would get you back on board? #Transportation #Albuquerque #PublicTransit00Share
Sean Clark+FollowAssembly Street traffic shake-up: What’s changingMajor changes are rolling out on Assembly Street starting today, and anyone who drives through downtown Columbia will notice the difference. The right northbound lane and nearby parking meters are closed for construction, but to keep things moving, parking spots by the median are now a travel lane—so there are still three lanes open. Heads up: you can’t turn left onto Hampton Street from Assembly anymore, and expect more closures on Washington and Hampton soon. These new patterns will stick around for about two years. How do you think this will impact your daily commute or local businesses? #Transportation #ColumbiaSC #TrafficUpdate00Share
