For some reason a lot of drivers are taking to Main Street westbound today. The result is a slow-moving backup of traffic from downtown to I-5.

The usual causes have been checked.

  • Slater Road is not closed
  • Grandview Road is not closed
  • Portal Way access is open.

There was a minor accident at the intersection by Samuel’s Furniture but that happened after traffic started building up.

So what is causing people to jump on Main Street today? Is it just a Friday anomaly?
