blocking roads
1
11/29/17 I exited I85 south at Palmetto GA, Weldon road at approx 3:45pm. It has become an almost weekly ordeal, but a train is usually blocking the intersection at US highway 29/ Weldon road. Yesterday in particular, I waited 30 minutes before I found an alternate route home (1 hour with extreme traffic). While I waited, the local High School had several buses blocked from getting to the school, I also observed an Ambulance who appeared to be blocked. It looked like they got direction from their radio and u-turned and speed off. I sure hope the patient survived. Out of curiosity, after my extra hour added to getting home, the train was still blocking that intersection. Is it possible not to have trains to block intersections that are on expressway exits? Especially during the start of rush hour?
