I am really surprised to hear of the traffic congestion. We have only been there mostly in January or very early February, and although there is lots of traffic, have honestly never been at a stand still , unless of course the bridge is opening. The only time I remember severe traffice was back in 2005 and we ended up for the first time in SXM during regatta! Wow, now that was traffic. I hope this present traffic situation is something that will be cleared up soon.
