There will be fender benders here, if not already.
Agree. Especially crazy when there is no enforcement of "local." Traffic is no different than before the"closure."

Caught me by surprise when being almost taken out by a landscape truck & trailer as he dove in front of me, because the right lane was blocked, into the left lane at exit.
