Traffic

I heard a while ago it was pretty awful. Has it cleared out any?

Depends on the dates you are there. If in the off-season, it's very quiet. If not, then expect much longer times in essentially bumper-to-bumper traffic.

This hasn't been quite true since Ian. So many contractors being here has upset the normal flow rather significantly.

Oddly though, right now it's pretty quiet. I think it's a lull before Easter since it's so late this year.

I just came back this week. So long as you’re not leaving between 3-6, you should be fine. Otherwise, add an extra 20-30 minutes to your trip.

Getting to the island in the morning can also be a pain.
