Stopped Traffic on 447!

Post by kyliediscope » Mon Aug 26, 2013 12:47 am

We have been sitting in stopped traffic for nearly two hours. We didn't move at all for an hour and then we went about a mile. Now, stopped again for 30 minutes now. Anyone with a clue what is going on?

I'm in that very same traffic. :( The guy in the driver's seat just started snoring. I just got back from going outside without a flashlight to pee, then peeing accidentally into a big prickly bush and all over my flip flops.

I'm not leaving until tomorrow or Tuesday. I heard if enough people went outside tonight they would start pulsing. Which means you will move once an hour or so. Also there is supposed to be road work happening along 447

Wow, we just realized that drivers are falling asleep at the wheel during standstills (without their lights on!) and thus holding up huge lines of traffic until people, one by one, figure out what's happened and drive around them. Yeah this pulsing at 1 am when people are exhausted is a fabulous idea.
