Yesterday after work I took the MUP from my office to a highway. The MUP doesn't connect directly to the road, but to a sidewalk paralleling it. I usually stay on that for a bit until I can safely merge into the road. But yesterday the northbound traffic was bumper to bumper and barely moving. I stayed on the sidewalk passing all the cars. About a half-mile up the road I found the reason for the clog. A school bus was broken down and being worked on, blocking about half of a lane. Police were doing the one lane at a time traffic management. So once I got passed that spot, the northbound was moving again, but southbound was stopped. At the next stoplight I was able to cross over to the northbound lane and cruise right along.

A warm and humid 70F this morning.
