I lived in a beautiful condo until last April, and I sold it and moved here because the traffic out front was driving me nuts. It put me in a terrible mood. It was basically a country road but the only crossway from the other side of the county into the city I lived in. So semis, motorcycles, and souped-up pickup trucks raced down my road and braked in front of my condo, where the cop sat on the other side of the bridge (not my side) to bust the speeders. Same with leaving the city. Once across that bridge, they all gunned it in front of my condo. I couldn't sleep at night in my master bedroom. Even with the windows closed, it was loud. My neighbors put sound proof panels across their front windows. Crazy! When I bought that place, I had no idea. The sound of traffic is a real irritant for me.
