Technology is only as good as the people charged with using it. My favorite is the one on 270, just before the Chain of Rocks or Canal Bridge that reads "Congestion Ahead."
Gee, ya think??

Your help is greatly anticipated.
Like many states, Missouri and Illinois have placed large reader boards above their urban Interstate highways. I past five today. The first said "Test Test Test." The second said "Right lane closed at Soccer Field Road." This appeared to be important news since the Soccer Field Road exit is just west of the complex I-44, I-270, and MO 366 (old US 66) interchange. Traffic exiting I-270 and 366 actually uses that lane to head west on 44. I immediately began planning alternative routes depending upon how far traffic was backed up. I did not need to bother, when I got there the lane was not closed and there was no evidence that if ever had been. The next three big reader boards were blank. Ain't technology great?

We have signs out here in the Toolies that say "congestion ahead" and there is nothing there. One day I figured it was because of the Pepper Processing Plant and the trucks entering or leaving but they actually go out on the opposite side of the building. My son took pictures of this sign amid the sagebrush and chapparel and sent it to his city friends.
