I think another correlation is the direction of travel along with time of day. If you're riding into the sun, whether it's morning or evening, it's much harder to see the actions of vehicles in front of you, and it's much harder for the vehicles behind you to see your actions. So, if you live west of where you work, maybe don't commute by motorcycle in heavy traffic. You'll be riding into the sun both ways.
My commute is north in mornings and south in afternoons. I'm finding my ride home becoming more difficult the later it gets in the year, because the sun is farther south in the sky and causes quite a bit of glare in the late afternoon. I wear amber polarized driving glasses, which help. I'm betting most of the drivers around me don't, because it makes it harder to read the screen while texting
