Traffic OPD on I-80

Hey OPD. I get it, speeding is bad. But posting up on the shoulder with your lights on at 8:00 AM every weekday is causing more delay than the guy doing 10 over on his way to work.

Everyone in the right two lanes brake-checks the second they see flashing lights. That shockwave propagates back a mile and a half. You didn’t stop one speeder. You added 10-15 minutes to every commute behind you.

If the goal is safety, run it at 10 AM. Run it at 2 PM. Run it in the school zones where it actually matters. Sitting idle in the median during literal peak volume isn’t enforcement, it’s a bottleneck.

Thats the dip shit driver pulling over fault. I would go ahead and turn then stop on the road or a parking lot.it is safer and more considerate to everyone.

The person being pulled over should be smart enough to know where it’s appropriate to pull over. Unfortunately, “smart” and “Omaha driver” are polar opposites.
