Reply to comment by chefmarksamson in Can anyone further down Forbes solve the mystery of the Great Oakland Thanksgiving traffic jam? Thx in advance! by catbosspgh

Yup, just saw this today (didn't remember to take a picture unfortunately). For some reason, it was like all the cars on the entire road were honking at the same time, which is why I noticed the huge truck in the first place. Like, it was as long as the entire width of Forbes and then some. Took forever for it to turn.

I thought I saw something like that from way back. It was unexpected.

To be fair, traffic in Oakland has been bad for weeks because of all the construction. Crossing Fifth as a pedestrian is downright hazardous in the late afternoon because you can't see the walk sign and the drivers seem to ignore the traffic lights.
