“I think that traffic kills empathy. Hear me out: have you ever been stuck in traffic for 25 minutes and then it just dissipates for no reason at all and then you have that moment where it’s like, ‘That was about nothing? Are you serious? Nothing?’”
Well at Bowie it is about nothing but its something we all can fix together!
Traffic is always a problem. In so many countries people depend on their cars to get to the closets things around their house, like the supermarket on the next corner or the park 3 blocks away. A human spends a lot of time in his car and the traffic is a huge result of that.
Every day after the bell rings at 4:30pm the students and teachers of the James Bowie High School in Austin, Texas run to get to their parked cars so they won`t get stuck in †he big traffic on Slaughter on their way home. There needs to be a way to stop this and make it less difficult for students and teachers on the way home.
Theres not many ways to stop school traffic in big schools like Bowie because the students need to get treated the same way and no-one should have better treatments then the other.
If we would treat some of the students better then the others that would lose out student fights in the hallways of Bowie and that would lead to a really bad picture in the public.
Also students that don't want to be stuck in traffic have always the opportunity to wait at school after the bell rings till the traffic is over so they can drive home on a calm road.
I hear the teachers complain about the after school traffic too, its not only students that would benefit with a solution to make the traffic less bad.
The danger of accidents in that traffic is even more because the crowd of all these cars stresses a lot of the students especially when they are sophomores for example and just started driving.
The school traffic also affects other people that take Slaughter after their work at the same time. These people get stuck because of the 3000 students that leave Bowie every day at the same time.
In my opinion the James Bowie High School should find a solution to avoid creating this traffic that is not fun for anyone at Bowie or outside of Bowie.
My suggestion would be that Bowie could release the A Hall and B Hall early on every A day and relate the F and E Hall early every B day. The early release is gonna be 15min before the normal bell rings so at 4:15pm so the students can get to their cars and drive home so the traffic after the normal bell at 4:30pm is not as bad and everyone can get home faster and safer.
That would be fair to every single student and every single teacher.
