During the 2016 campaign season, Bernie came to town. They shut down parts of the highway to let his bus get a clear route to where he was speaking, except someone forgot to shut down the highway entrance where I got on to go to work. I get on and am wondering where all the traffic is. In my review mirror I can see State Troopers blocking all the lanes. Ahead, I can see where the two highways (the one I was on, and the one Bernie would be) intersect and there's no traffic there either. All of a sudden I see the police vehicles being trailed by the Bernie bus. It was almost timed perfectly, that if I really wanted to, I could have taken the ramp from my highway to his highway and ended up right in the middle of his convoy.
I've always wondered if someone got in trouble for forgetting to shut down the entrance ramp I took, or because nothing happened, they just ignored it.
