101 informational sign on was not on
Dear Red Phone, I was stuck in the traffic mess (Sept. 16). It might be nice to find out why the highway informational sign on northbound U.S. 101 was not telling people that there was an accident ahead. It was black (that) morning … and I thought this sign was to be used for such an event?”
Red Phone: Dear Stuck in Traffic, Red Phone contacted Jaime Rios, the spokesperson for the California Highway Patrol, who said you are referring to the nine-car collision shortly before 7 a.m. that morning. He said the Traffic Management Center was notified, but a few minutes after than notification three of the four blocked lanes were opened.
“It appears that our first unit arrived at the scene at approximately 7:09 a.m.,” Rios said. “They were delayed because of the traffic backup. Once the unit arrived, all lanes were blocked by involved vehicles, they cleared five of the cars at 7:11 a.m. and at 7:20 requested the Traffic Management Center be notified so that they can update the freeway sign. At approximately 7:21 a.m. the one through three lanes were opened to traffic. The fourth lane remained closed for fire, ambulance and tow trucks. We towed eight vehicles.”
Rios said traffic congestion is a top priority for the CHP, and the officers that handled the collision, opened up the roadway as soon as possible.
“We appreciate the public’s patience and hope everyone will understand the circumstances which we were dealing with on Thursday morning,” Rios added.
