| Just that it was 3 vehiculars. Truck had stopped (Suddenly?) Car rear-ended pickup and then a another car rear-ended that car. Happened close to the Radar unit on N 14th. People traveling N all had to get to inside lane because the Radar is right in middle of outside lane. No warning signs, and when the car in front of you finally gets to the inside then you see your about to hit cones around the Radar, and it makes sense that there was a traffic jam on 14th at the Radar with all the cars headed to school..

| Thank you, Zeb. I appreciate it. Glad no one was seriously injured. And you are right, the traffic in the morning is terrible in that area!! The Joker |

| I can understand the rational for the radar unit being there, but in this case it sounds like it was counter-productive...? |

| ya know...........I think there must be a "gentleman's agreement" between drivers and Hiway patrol/City Cops up here during rush hour. You only see the cop with somebody stopped if there's been an accident. If there's a cop on the side of the road, traffic slows down to around 40 miles per hour - even though it's posted no less than 45 (I think) nor more than 60 (in some spots) and it really snarls traffic. During rush hour, somebody's liable to start shootin!!! And I've never seen a cop using radar equipment during rush hour - either on city streets or on the hiways. There are some mobile radar units out here to tell us what our speed is, but never manned. And nobody slows down. Wow. What a nightmare!
