What the *&^% happened on highway 40 today?!?!

Post by JCShutout »

Seriously, WTF?!?!

It takes me 35 minutes tops to get to work.

It took me 45 minutes to get near 40 on 270, and I sat in the fu&^%$ing exit lane for westbound 40 for 10 minutes and probably moved 3 feet. Thank you radio stations for making no mention of any of this in over an hour and a half of broadcasting.

Seriously, was there a 35 car pile up or something?

I ended up going east on 40, and taking Ballas to Olive, and olive for like 12 miles to get to work.

Seriously, how do you get in an accident in rush hour? You're going like 2mph!

I got a 73 and barely passed my driving test. (69 is fail) If people are driving significantly worse than me, why the FUC&%$ are they able to get licences?!?!

It looked really bad heading East; fortunately for me I was going West, it was practically post-apocalypse-like abandoned westbound on 40 this morning.

I have no idea what happened except there was some accident that took a while to clear. Traffic always sucks, and no one in St. Louis seems to have any clue how to drive. :x

There was a huge accident (only two cars though), heading west on 40 right after Spoede. They closed two right lanes because a truck was blocking both lanes. Didn't look good for the truck. Unfortunately I'm witnessing wrecks daily whether I try my luck on the way to work in the morning via 40 or 70.

I didn't even get all that close to the city for my job this summer and I still figured out that 40 is the worst road in history. Combining it with Missouri drivers is a match designed to drive people to Kansas(well, they've got to populate the state somehow).

Yeah, I-64 = State Route 40 in Missouri.
