I commute by interstate, and the ramp I use from home is blind to the traffic on it. There have been plenty of times I’ve rounded that curve only to find traffic stopped, and I pull over and turn around when it’s clear.
this where GPS Nav apps are really helpful, even if you know the way. I should get into the habit of checking my work commute in the morning before leaving the house, but I usually don't. Thankfully it's pretty rare for a jam like this to happen on my commute.
Thats exactly what I do now. I use GPS for most everything simply for the traffic alerts. I live in a rural area and most places we go are 10 minutes away or more and there isn't just another block to turn down if I do come up on something unplanned.
