No Escape In Classic Traffic Goof
In St Louis on December 7 a traffic goof created a trap at a marked intersection. Two one way streets funneled motorists into a dead end where no legal exit existed. Barricades by a construction company blocked the proper route and a U turn was not allowed. After chaotic scenes officials and the company rearranged the barricades and some drivers eventually escaped.
