Traffic sucks in Houston. We all know this; we live this while stuck in every rush-hour gridlock on 610, trying to stay cool even as it becomes clear that we re going to be late again. Despite our best intentionsâand all of those deep healing breaths on I-45âthe Bayou Cityâs earned the reputation as Americaâs road rage capital. And itâs getting worse.
Although there have been substantially fewer commuters on the road throughout the pandemic, thereâs been a 30-percent jump in road rage incidents, Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo said during a December 8 press conference. âWe have seen a marked increase this year in terms of road rage incidents and aggravated assaults resulting from road rage incidents,â Acevedo said.
