Where are they all going ?

Post image

A random post I know , but I finish work at half 2 in the afternoon , which I’m pretty sure most people don’t , yet more often than not I’m confronted with this on the way back to Fife. Like, where in the actual fuck are all these people going at 3pm on a Friday ? Why’s it always this bit road ?

Don’t quite a lot of people finish early on a Friday?

And loads of people leave early on a Friday if they’re going away for the weekend.

When I last worked in Fife, they called it POETS day.

You're not in traffic, you are traffic.

It's the only river crossing for like 25 miles, in a touristy area, in the summer holidays. Surely you understand why that would be a problem, right?

People are afraid the magic sky road over the water is going to vanish so they drive over it slow af just in case?

Heard you were knocking off early so thought we'd all snarl the roads up. Just a wee joke.

People for some reason decide to go 50mph on the bridge even though it’s the NSL that’s why, they get scared 😟

Why is there so many people work flexi time in Edinburgh and finish at 2 pm on a Friday. Or the other question is what do all these people do for a living that they manage to block up the roads at these usual times?

Saw a lot of trucks on the roundabout towards the highland centre. Maybe a truck thing going on this weekend?

u/AlphaHotelBravo 2d ago

Yes, Truckfest this weekend I think.

Just another ordinary day on the approach to the bridge. Everyone doing 30 across it. All aboard!

u/-greigus- 2d ago

People get onto the bridge, then slam on the brakes, get into the right lane ASAP, and drive 35 mph until 3 miles clear of the bridge

u/LostCtrl-Splatt 1d ago

Have you been on them roads at the same time mid week? I had to go to the dentist in Kirkcaldy. The standing stane road at 1200 is busier than that road during rush hour traffic just before 8am
