I’m often woken up in the morning at 7:30am by blaring horns.  Normally, if I’m on a good sleep schedule, this is no big deal; I should be waking up at that time anyway.  But, sometimes it’s irritating – I need rest!  Why the honking horns every weekday at 7:30am (and then again at 5:30pm)?  Because there’s a school just across the street.  Parents preparing to drop their kids off make a pitiful attempt at pulling over out of the way of the traffic.  Seems to never work.  Sometimes it’s so bad that a complete jam occurs which takes lots of honking to work itself out.  Check out this photo where two lanes of opposing traffic has formed and subsequently collide:
