Commuters drive on a 5-lane highway into the city in the AM, and they drive back home on another 5 lanes in the PM. And then there's the zipper lane...
A mechanical monstrosity called a ZipMobile moves a segmented concrete barrier from one side of the zipper lane to the other twice a day to let the commute direction access the extra lane. And then the ZipMobile breaks. There are in fact, TWO ZipMobiles, and BOTH of them were broken for three days this week. You'd have thought the Zombie Apocalypse had arrived!
Traffic was stopped for hours! The governor broke into broadcast TV to beg people to stay home. They contemplated closing schools and government offices.
You really must see how a ZipMobile eats concrete barriers on one side of the lane and poops them out on the other:
Aloha y'all!
