slow going

I-610 West, Houston's West Loop past the Galleria has been particularly slow (South-bound, for me) the last few days as the post-Ike work-a-day schedule returns.

I suspect that people who normally drive the surface streets are avoiding them because of the uncertain conditions. No telling what lights are working, or where police may (finally) be stationed to help the flow.

More than half of the signal lights (in my estimation) are still not functioning.
