I'm watching the bumper to bumper traffic northbound on the 528. It seems to me that there would some sort of emergency planning for something this epic that the southbound side would only be open for emergency vehicles and trucks bringing supplies, and then only using the right lane. The throughput would be greatly increased, even if they only went 15 MPH.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
