Re: Wednesday, August 18, 2004
As upsetting as this may be it's not going to happen, the Geothals has been closed overnights since April and will be until November. If they braodcast this along with every other recurring problem such as commercial vehicle restrictions at the Holland Tunnel, toll plaza regulations for the George Washington Bridge, lane construction on the Tri-borough, New Jersey Turnpike long term lane closures, well, you get the idea, we'd never get to the real traffic report (and they do report the closure, just not every traffic report.) Sucks for you but that's the way it is, they only have so much info that can be crammed into the 1 minute report (I don't think and all traffic all the time station would do very well.) Shoulda checked 1010wins.com traffic before you left. I had a similair situation happen to me, always seems to be on the west coast, usually around San Francisco. I run smack dab into the middle of a traffic jam on say, the 101, that isn't on the traffic report because it happens at the same time every day and so they don't report it. Now that sucks. Oh yeah, if someone is driving somewhere and they don't they don't the road or don't have a map, they deserve whats they gets. You can get a brand new Rand McNally US atlas for 5 bucks at Wal-Mart and the rental car company gives out local maps for free. That being said, the Port Authority (who run the bridge) could do a better job of helping people to get around it. There are responses to this message:
