Dale Mabry and Lambright Street, immediately north of Hillsborough Avenue in Tampa, are consistently congested in the afternoon, frustrating drivers looking to get home from work.

Drivers who frequent the area say it can take 3-4 traffic lights to get through, which leads to more backed up traffic.

Population growth in the area has led to traffic backups starting before 4 p.m. and continuing past 6 p.m.
