Selling Less Cars Leads to More Traffic?

Economic Slowdown ⇒ Reduced Car Sales ⇒ Production Cuts ⇒ OT Limits ⇒ Huge Traffic Jams as everyone in my office is forced to arrive and leave the office at the same time. Today in my team's after lunch meeting we were informed that we would be divided into groups allowed to arrive at 7:30 or 9:30. In an office with a set arrival time of 8:30 and bells that support the schedule ringing all day long, it will be an interesting office culture change. Prior to this announcement a new lane was added in and out of the plant, and all lanes were designated as one direction during arrival and departure times, but apparently neither of these changes had enough effect.
