Heavy Traffic Due to Darkness
Traffic alert signs that hang on the highway in North Carolina alerted drivers to the possibility of heavy traffic due to the upcoming eclipse. These signs are 150 – 200 miles away from the zone of totality. The media couldn’t seem to make up its mind whether this was the event of a lifetime – albeit only 2 minutes worth – or something to avoided like the plague. The NCDOT just warned people about the traffic.
