Relaxing Traffic

Posted on by Kolbe

Is there anyone who actually likes traffic? One Indianapolis entrepreneur is sure hoping some people do. Entrepreneur Tom Battista saw a patch of grass overlooking a spot where two highways merge and had an idea. He is calling his idea “The Idle” and it will be a spot where people can come and watch the traffic. That’s right, people will be able to come and relax with three rows of seats and a covering to protect from the sun where they will watch the cars either rush along or sit and try to merge. The concept is interesting. The idea that we all know the frustration of sitting in traffic, trying to get where you need to be, it can be maddening. However, here you can sit and be right where you need to be. Enjoying the fresh air and the fact that you are not one of the people sitting in the line of cars. Or on a day that is not stop and go, you can enjoy just watching the cars zip along. At first I thought this idea was crazy, but the more I think about it, the more I think I could see myself going there to relax!
