traffic and site navigation
Last night, on the way home from D&D, traffic was at a stand-still on the parkway. We found this out just after you have to commit to the on-ramp, when we rounded a bend and found stopped traffic and some people vainly tryint to back up. (They weren't the rear-most people.) We still had the option to get onto the parkway in the other direction, so we did -- and saw that traffic was backed up and apparently stopped on the other side much of the way to the next exit. We eventually got turned around and took an alternate route home.
(We called Ralph from the car in an attempt to warn other people not to try the ramp, but we missed. I hope Mike bailed the way we did.)
(We were curious about how far in the other direction this continued, and I speculated that there was an accident in the Squirrel Hill tunnel and we would see no traffic coming out the other end. But we didn't go look.)
This morning I tried to find out what it was by going to the web site of a local paper and looking at the local news. Their site navigation is pretty bad -- they have a "city news" section, but I actually had to go to the "east" section (not a subsection of "city") to find this news. (The city section did contain other eastern-city news.) Eventually I found it: there were two accidents, one at Edgewood before the tunnel and one (yes) in the tunnel half an hour later. Apparently this started at about 9pm, and traffic started moving at about 11. Ugh.
