SMH,I-20 Near Shreveport,LA-Again

The signage is in both directions. 220 east bound is at exit 11. The construction starts at 19 I believe, so I don't see any police stationed that far out on the east bound side. So, you can go all the way in to the last exit before the construction if you need to go into Shreveport prior to the construction to make a drop.
However, on the west bound side, 220 is the last exit before the construction starts at the 26. That's why they (truckers) get hammered. Once you pass 220 west bound... there are no more exits to get off & you have no place to escape.... no place to exit or turn around. Usually 2 or 3 officers are stationed somewhere around the 220 exit & if you pass it.... your hung.
If you need to make a delivery or pickup in the Bossier city area (on the east side of the Shreveport/Bossier City metro), you need to take 220 & use an exit there to run into the city to make your stop.
I honestly think some of these drivers are indeed making a stop in the city & assume the signs are for "through traffic" & is ok to use if your picking up or making a delivery, so they just run past 220 to make their stop off I-20 into the city. WRONG... you gotta take 220 and then exit off into the city for your stop.
The signage clearly states.. "NO COMMERCIAL VEHICLES".

My advice is take 220 around both ways.

 

Was watching the news here today. Local news is out of Shreveport. I-20 west at a standstill because of a disabled truck blocking road in the construction. Showed several other trucks stuck waiting. Troopers on site.

 

There's usually several police stationed between the 220 exit & the 26 where the construction begins. Somebody got'em down there somewhere. Troopers will go after them sometimes but usually its a Bossier City local.
That trooper was probably taking a break from a busy day dealing with those trucks.

You seen two. It's not unusual for me to see at least one just about every time I go through there. If I see that many within 4 or 5 minutes, that I can visually watch traffic go by that intersection, you know its a constant thing all day long. There's no telling how trucks blow by all those signs everyday & still continue across I-20 into the construction. Its unbelievable. If I didn't see it for myself, I'd think people are just blowing it out of proportion... stretching the truth. Unfortunately, I go through there 2 or 3 times a week average... each way, and within the +/-5 minutes that I can watch that stretch of road, I'll see at least one truck just about every time.
