oh, amen. I get this one a lot, as the state noticed that my local I-40 interchange was congested and therefore began a multi-year project to mess it up even more.... Lane closures and the occasional detour of all I-40 through the neighborhood, yup, we get this one a LOT.
One of my happiest moments ever was the time some years ago that I was on 270, which was crawling due to an accident up ahead. Some little beamer decided to to zip past me on the shoulder, only to find himself confronting the state trooper entering from the next exit, who was planning to use the shoulder to sort out the mess. Heheh. I never saw a more well-deserved traffic stop.
