Apparently the Braker Lane overpass at MoPac is not a high priority for the crews in charge of salting the roads after a freeze. When I went through that intersection this morning at 7:45am, the traffic was backed up nearly to the next signal (which generally never happens) and people were creeping across the bridge. When I got up there, there were cars in each left turn lane which had lost traction....they weren't sliding uncontrollably - they weren't going anywhere at all!...they were pretty much stuck where they were with their back wheels spinning furiously and making an amazing, whining racket that I could hear over my radio.
