Chicago Living Tip No. 29
to avoid needlessly backed up traffic on major streets, learn to navigate the alleyways. this also gives you the advantage when competing with other drivers for that one open street parking spot, and may be used in conjunction with Chicago Living Tip #23.
EDIT (10:06am): thanks, tom, for reminding me about idiots who speed down alleys. i used to be one–until i got pulled over. that’s right, folks. the CPD will–i repeat, will–pull you over for speeding in an alley. the speed limit is 15mph, though i don’t recall ever seeing any signs in alleys. or maybe i was just driving too fast.
coming soon (maybe even later today!): the circumstances around which i got pulled over speeding down an alley

ugh. i can’t stand the people who go speeding down my alley. (of course i use it but i don’t speed) and don’t get me started on the ones who put their blinkers on and block it for half a day.
