Default Closed with less activity after the fact.

Never seems to be a good word to use since it didn't happen to anyone.
Great point, closed down after the fact though. Fortunately the freighter’s engine died late in the night and not during rush hour. I recall driving near Vero Beach and Indian River a few years back when the roads were cut off because of hurricane storm surge. It wouldn’t have been a good scenario for those driving in automated vehicles.

You shouldn’t care though, as long as it was the other guy.
