The Roman street layout in Pompeii made me rethink my daily commute
Walking the rutted paving stones on Via dell'Abbondanza last month, I noticed the wheel grooves were deeper on one side from centuries of cart traffic, and it hit me that those ancient drivers dealt with the same one-way congestion headaches we do, just without traffic lights, so has anyone else had a moment where an old site suddenly felt super relatable?

The trick is timing your departure before the morning rush, same thing applies here. Those ruts show they had predictable peak hours too, so you just plan around them like you would a bad intersection.
