将光标移到一段路上，click，会跳出一个窗口“Roadway speed and travel time”，
然后点击下面的“live speed chart”，棵看到3个月的动态平均速度。可以根据这个
安排上下班的时间与路线。
另外，查了一下，Pearland 228上8号内那一段是最慢的。居然没有计划修。
Houston makes list of cities with worst commutes
An annual study from Texas A&M transportation institute says clogged roads
cost Americans $121 billion in time and wasted fuel in 2011. That's more
than $800 per person. On average, the study says Americans allow an hour of
driving time for a trip that would take 20 minutes without traffic.
The study determined that the 10 most congested cities are, in order,
Washington, Los Angeles, San Francisco-Oakland, New York-Newark, Boston,
Houston, Atlanta, Chicago, Philadelphia and Seattle.
According to researchers, the average Houstonian wasted 23 gallons of gas
sitting in traffic. They also found drivers in our area wasted more than two
days a year on average in traffic congestion, costing them nearly $1,100 in
lost time and gas.
People are flocking to the Houston area for cheaper real estate and
operating costs and that puts more cars on our roads.
The county's planned toll projects on Highway 290 and I-45 should help
reduce traffic jams, but more drivers are on the way. There are 4 million
people in Harris County now and another million expected in the next 20
years.
Researchers said 2005 remains the worst year recorded for traffic congestion
, but warn recent improvement may be directly related to the recession. As
the economy picks up again, the study's authors warn, so might road
congestion.
The report is one of the key tools used by experts to solve traffic problems
, but the institute advises that every community has unique challenges and
require different, multi-faceted approaches to solving congestion. | S********e

这个是planning（比如买房）用，不是要你每天实时用的。
