I-81 In Pennsylvania Strikes Again

*Dave pretends to be shocked"

Everyone drives so careful and courteous on that road, how can there be accidents on it??

 

Yet another reason I drive at night. Most pileups occur during daylight hours. Idiots.

 

The one 81 said 4:30 PM.

 

I've learned 1 thing about I-81 in PA....weather is never a factor there. Pileup and accidents occur there regardless of the season, and weather conditions. It's 55 mph for much of the stretch between Carlisle and Harrisburg for some reason, and those motorists are getting it...it's like 55 means nothing.

 

That area sucks. I see fedwrecks trucks in ditches all the time there during winter.

 

81, 78, 83 and 322 might as well not even have posted speed limits. I don't even think the state police go after people unless they're going 85+

 

The reason these types of events are now commonplace, no longer just icy roads in the winter, is that the density of traffic, cars and trucks is way over the design limits of the highway.
And since it is nearly impossible to get a highway built, or even add lanes to existing ones, the situation will only get worse.
Even for the electric car weinies.
