The roads will soon get quieter, you'll notice a big increase once school starts up again in September. My very short commute doubles

The roads are quieter in September? I thought they would get busier now that everyone is on holiday and the tourists are coming?

Not really, the school run doesn't happen so it cuts loads of traffic. This was the main reason that the govt. Started free transport to schools. Many people still drive their children to school though

Usually yes but this will be the first real summer since covid, the influx of people plus record permits being given, road closures are everywhere. I am a courier and it is getting worse by the day, I predict this summer is going to be torture, the worse it has ever been. Edited - today was one of the worse I have seen it in almost 20 years driving here. Sliema/Gzira/Msida/St Julians was impossible, traffic backed up everywhere and constant honking and frustration.

My youngest at middle school finished last Wednesday, oldest at high school last Friday. Yes roads are getting busier now, I am a courier and it getting worse by the day. This summer will be the first real summer since covid, the first real summer since the massive influx of people. Traffic is often backed up to the start of sliema if going to St Julian's when there was 100k less people, I predict it will be backed up way past exiles some days this summer. Fun fun.

I thought so. I noticed how busy the roads were today. Traffic jams everywhere..
