Going Nowhere Fast

My heart goes out to commuters, especially those using Highway 1, East or Westbound.  It doesn't take much to slow you down from 80 (construction zone speed) to 0.  Sometimes it's simply volume, at a freeway entrance, other times, the inevitable accident that turns the freeway into a parking lot.

This is what happened Eastbound yesterday.  2 lanes of traffic backed up for m-i-l-e-s.

The massive 2 lane parking lot on the opposite side of the highway.

Whatever your day, I sure hope it wasn't stalled in park for more than a few minutes.

Happy Wednesday.
