10 Phases of Driving Through Minnesota Road Construction [as told by GIFs]

Posted by Poquet Auto on Jul 30, 2015 5:00:36 AM

It’s that time of year again. Summer has hit and road construction is in full swing. We don’t know about you, but for us, the frequent road closures and the resulting traffic jams are infuriating.

Here are 10 phases we go through when trying to reach a destination during road construction season:

1. You realize you’re entering a construction zone.

2. You slow to a stop.

3. You’re bumper to bumper.

5. You’re losing energy, so you have a snack.

6. You try to remain patient and remember that you’ll get where you’re going...eventually.

7. You try to distract yourself by listening to your favorite song, but it doesn’t work at all.

8. You realize you’d rather drive in blizzard conditions than deal with road construction season.

10. Just when you’re about to give up and get off the nearest exit, you see moving traffic ahead.
