Well the truckers are now coming across I-395 into DC to protest the vaccine mandates. And they have some help; the government of the District of Columbia. This past Wednesday I was going to work through the District. Both my travel apps and WTOP were useless! I saw about a dozen trucks and passenger vehicles sludging through I-395, I-695 and I-295 with thousands of other cars not in the protest also crawling along on the road. The Metropolitan Police Department closed off every exit in DC for everyone not just the protesters! God help you if you are running out of gas, have other mechanical trouble, or need to get to George Washington University Hospital or Howard University Hospital, you would be SOL! People were getting desperate. Drivers were doing U turns on the highway onto the onramp from 11th Street. It looked like something from Ronin! Other cars were using the U Turn for emergency vehicles on the highway almost causing numerous wrecks! Traffic was a mess and people (including me) were very inconvenienced. This is exactly what the trucker protest wanted! What the MPD should have done was keep all the exits on I-295 open east of the Anacostia River. Everything east of that river is the ‘hood! Broken, narrow roads in the ghetto will encourage people to leave immediately. And in DC it’s hard crossing the Anacostia River on local roads!
