There is no real "traffic updates" section -- the best you can get is to
pay attention to the updates and news "1:00 100+ Activists gathering at
15th & Market" = dont try to drive near 15th & market. read between the
lines.
My personal impression is that the lines say "dont bother to drive
downtown at all."
Actually the radio traffic coverage has been pretty good, I think... I was
listening to it when I was driving down to a park-n-ride lot before.
The probelm with the website is ya cant expect them to have a
live-real-time traffic update... the way the police and the protesters
keep moving about -- you never know when a route is going to be blocked
off. The radio news at least has about 3 helicopters up in the air.. but
you have to wait for their timeslot to hear what is being blocked off,
and by then, if you are driving downtown, you may already be on the road
with no space to turn off...
You also need to realize this is not ALL protesters and police... on
Monday I was driving downtown when I was blocked off waiting for a MUMMERS
parade at 3:45 on Market street!.
You also have a lot of pedestrians walking about making it harder than
normal to get through intersections...
