The guideline that holds all the lights up snapped and all the lights are hanging so low that the tractor trailers can't even get under them.

It's so hard to tell, like heading southbound, you can't see what the lights are even showing, and I'm having people run them, almost great in an accident here, so we can just get lights on in the medians here just to slow everybody down so they can see the lights. I'm not sure if you can see the lights coming northbound and if they're working or not.
