Well I am one of the lucky ones. I never travel 40 but I do feel for the ones who do.

If we all leave a half hour to an hour early to compensate for the traffic and delays, then you are running your cars an extra hour or 2 per day. Thats burning alot of extra gas. Are we going to have backups at the pump? Surely we will be adding to the air polution while draining our pockets with extra gas purchase. I have already noticed I use more just for warming the car up since it got colder. Now they have these red light ticketing cameras. I can see because of traffic making frequent sudden stops, people enter the light green and suddenly they don't clear it and its red. Now you will have to fight a undiserved ticket. I think the scope of this or the ripple effect is going to cause more impact in areas we have not considered. I am sure they will al rear thier ugly heads over the next few years....

Hey stephan you have a point about those cameras!

dosent apply to me , but the coverage sounded good, i guess... i was lost ...lol

thanks all

All I can say if the haven't figured it out by now they never will.

What do you mean Hwy 40/64 is closed ......where was I

Okay, we've all known for a long time now that hwy 40 would be shutting down this week. And I realize it's the job of the news crew to let us in on that fact, which they have been doing for months now, ie. "Countdown to shut down". That's all well and good... BUT... they have neglected the fact that not every person who watches their show is affected by this shutdown. Some people only use hwy 40 a couple times a year, while some have never traveled hwy 40 in their lives. I have been watching Fox 2 morning news ever since it came into existence and I have never been so disgusted with a news broadcast in my life as I have been this morning! Besides the quick reports of a house fire and the FBI reopening the cold case of the parachuting bank robber in Washinton state, and the weather, the only thing they reported on was HWY 40 and I'm sick of it. I'm sure there were many other news reports they could have been telling us about instead of the minor morning traffic problems. People on the highways are not hearing their reports and they even reported that updates were given on the radio for those folks, so why should we the viewers have to "log- on" to the website to get the rest of the news?! TRAFFIC News is for the radio and Monica Adams little tid bits of air time, not the whole dang morning show!! Talk about beating a story into the ground! This is a classic case of beating a dead horse, so to speak! I kept watching this morning just to see if they would change to headline news makers, but this was not the case. I would have much rather have heard of some actual news than lis

wow
