    Does anyone have a good before screenshot of the same map view / area? I want to stitch together a before shot before I share so that people not from the area can get an idea of the change and not just immediately think “oh well my small town has traffic and it looks like that so what’s the big deal”

      not exactly but with Google Maps you can setup a route with a start time set in the past and look at the congestion at that moment:

        Gotcha, I found that on desktop you can do “average traffic” for a day of the week and time for the whole map without putting in a destination so I picked an average Monday at 5:30:

        Lmfao, that’s the same distance as my commute to work, and I can bike that in 17-20 minutes
