ALDOT is bringing in extra people to ease traffic congestion as best they can.
) -It’s been slow and steady traffic for most of the day which has some drivers avoiding major roadways as long as they can.Thousands have already hit the road for Memorial Day weekend. With more expected over the next few days, it’s all hands on deck at ALDOT. Staff members have been monitoring traffic conditions on about 150 cameras in their Traffic Management Center.
“We can see the volume and based on that volume those traffic signals can be adjusted to let the vehicles go through a lot smoother,” said ALDOT Public Information Officer James Gordon. “If the vehicle is disabled to the point where it can’t move and it’s in the travel lane, we can push them out of the way or we can help wheel lift them,” said Traffic Management Center Manager Nicholas Hunter.
ALDOT says with all these measures in place it’s still the busiest travel weekend of the year so the best advice for drivers is to pack your patience.
