That's my observation too, cwoods, but also wanted to reply to something ericlp wrote earlier about people going really slowly through this point because they were gawking. That may have been the case when ericlp drove through, but this evening there were several people, including two cops with their backs to the traffic, literally stepping out into the road. There was no way you *could* drive more than 5-10 mph through there. You couldn't drive around them, it'd mean going into the opposing lane with relatively fast oncoming traffic, so for everyone's safety that was the only option. No wonder the backup is so large.
