So after I 90 and 52 , the curb line kind of ends and people have been doing U turns because they must have missed the eastbound 90 exit.

00:17

So they go past the bridge on I 90 and then they do a U turn.

00:22

To get on 90 east.

00:26

Ten four. Is that something that can be corrected with signage or what do you suggest?

00:31

Well, there's signs here saying no U-turns.

00:36

I use some barrels down here to kind of stop it, but now they're driving over the curb and stuff to do U-turns.

00:44

I just had a coach bus do a U-turn too, so

00:48

I guess there's not really much I can do at this time.

00:56

10-4, I'll let my trooper know.

00:59

10-4, yeah.

01:01

So I put as many cones out as I can that are down here, and that's about all I can do.

01:07

Copy, I appreciate it.
