Traffic

I always wonder, when caught in a traffic jam on an otherwise lazy Saturday afternoon, WHERE in the world all these people could be going ?  I have NO clue why there were so many people on the I15 around Corona.  The last time I was stuck in traffic like that in that area, everyone was slowing down to look at a roll of carpet on the shoulder.  Not even nice carpet, just a junky roll of carpet.  There WAS rain, so that explains why everyone stopped to look up.  That reminds me of what is surely an urban legend about turkeys drowning in a rainstorm because they look up to see what's hitting them and are too stupid to look back down again.  Lots of people hit the car in front of them as it slows down, freaked out by the wet stuff on the windshield.

Which brings me to those stupid SIGNS that Cal Trans puts up.  What sadistic moron programs those?  We saw one that as we were passing said that there were lanes closed on the 60 and to "expect delays"  So we opted to continue on the 15 to the 210.  There was a sign that said there was traffic jammed at Foothill on the 15.  It said NOTHING WHATSOEVER about the ramp to the Westbound 210 being CLOSED. NOPE!  We took a scenic tour of downtown Fontana.  Sigh.  and the "jam' on the 60- we saw another sign which told us that closure was for NEXT week.  These must be the same people who send SHORT subway trains during rush hour.
