There is an on-ramp that I pass on my morning commute where, I swear, at least twice a week it seems like there is an accident (usually someone who thinks he can go does go, and runs into the back of the person in front of him, who didn't go). Anyway, as traffic slowed immediately after National Airport, I realized that today was probably such a day.
I could see the flashing sirens and gathered that I needed to get in the left lane because, I assumed, the accident was blocking the right lane. As I approached and eventually passed the scene, however, the cars involved had been moved completely onto the shoulder, out of everyone's way.
The right lane was closed because not one but two police cars had chosen to park diagonally across it, presumably to direct the traffic backup that they had just created.
**Sigh.**
(How could I possibly have another merging-related post?)
