All three lanes eastbound at a standstill for miles.
Driving home from work today, around 5:30 PM EDT, I saw three truckers parked alongside each other on I-80, the Ohio turnpike, eastbound. starting just before Interstate 77. They effectively blocked all traffic from passing them on the three-lane highway.
Driving full speed eastbound for the next ten or fifteen minutes, I could see traffic at a standstill behind them. I'm estimating that there were ten or fifteen miles of cars just parked on the turnpike going nowhere.
There was no way I could stop to talk with the truckers, but I'm guessing that they were protesting against high fuel prices.
