I-16 Near mile post 164

Savannah, GeorgiaSep 19, 20150 Comments

Multiple SUV patrol cars stake out grass median before Interstate 16 transitions from 55 to 65 just after Chatham Parkway (Mile marker 164) at dawn. They are looking for ‘criminals’ exceeding 70mph on our nations fragile 55 mph interstates. Within a couple of miles, I saw multiple westbound patrol SUV’s attempting to make u-turn around a nearby I-16 concrete center median wall to go back eastbound and reset their trap. Meanwhile westbound I-16 traffic was wall-to-wall and stomping their brakes and slamming to a halt when they saw nearby u turn headlights. One SUV patrol car intimidated traffic enough to go and force a u-turn around the concrete median wall. The other SUV gave up thankfully. I hope no one wrecked in the slowdown. I-16 has a regrettable recent history of fatalities due to sudden, inexplicable traffic slowing. U turns by government cars without blue lights on don’t help anyone. If it is an emergency, use the blue lights; otherwise, use the exits or cut-throughs like everybody else to turn around. Interstate lives matter.
