Right in my neighborhood

Thanks to a coworker on vacation and some work that needs to be done, I need to be in the office overnight tonight. I encountered this on my way in to work. The Rt 17 S closure was interesting but not too much of a problem as I was going the other way, but the traffic from 17 S rerouted to local roads meant that all the local roads around my workplace were a very angry, frustrated parking lot. Those last couple of blocks really put the F U back in fun. The 18-wheeler who decided that he was tired of waiting and was going to turn left NOW, even if it meant killing me, was a delight.

The last photo in the gallery attached to the nj.com article isn't directly related to the closure it's just local color. It happens to be where I work. Heh.
