Maybe it’s time for the base commander to start doing things to make base traffic flow smoother?
Maybe the drivers need to fallow the traffic laws. Another news service said someone made a U-turn. Let’s wait and see if we ever hear what caused the accident.

Don’t hold your breath…
Not much you can do if drivers do not slow down, get off their cell phones, and pay attention to the roadway. The only thing he/she can do is stagger the reporting and leaving times, and then you just widen the window these people will be on the road, and then your Christmas shoppers will complain.
HOW ABOUT CLOSE GATE 3. UTTERLY RIDICULOUS FOR 3 HOURS IN THE MORNING FOR GATE TO BE OPEN. PEOPLE FLY DOWN THE ROAD TO HURRY AND JAM UP ALL THE TRAFFIC, AND SCHOOL BUSES CANNOT EVEN GET THROUGH. GATE PILE UP STARTS AT 5 A.M. EVEN THOUGH GATE DOES NOT OPEN TILL 0600, KEEPING ANYONE WHO WORKS ON OR AROUND AREA FROM GETTING TO WORK.
Close gate completely. Serves little purpose other than jamming up the area and causing a traffic nightmare if you live or work in the area. Especially school buses. Only one way in or out of this area, and what little time gate is open is absolutely ridiculous to the consequences, especially if there is a medical or police, fire emergency in the neighborhoods and emergency responders cannot get there. Tuesday was a perfect example.
