What you need to know about driving on Interstate 95 during the DNC

PennDot has outlined what drivers on the interstate should expect before, during and after the DNC ...

More morons than usual?

[onyx]

I wouldn’t travel within 500 miles of the demonic-rat convention.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Most likely. Maybe a few nuts with fertilizer know-how, too.

[Lera]

[[Vehicles that weigh more than five tons won’t be permitted on I-95 between Exit 13 (for Interstate 76 West/Route 291/Valley Forge) and Exit 22 (for Interstate 676) between noon on July 23 and sometime midday on July 29, according to PennDot. ]]

Who are they trying to kid? The only person that would load up a big truck with something that can go boom loves what is going on in that convention and what they stand for.

[cgbg]

Good point—but they wouldn’t want one of those vehicles to have an accident while it was heading somewhere else. :-)

[Doogle]

Well,I guess Rosie O’Donut won’t be attending

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Not so sure about that. The anarchists / “Occupy” types are very violent AND very pissed Her Heinous stole the nomination from true-red commie Sanders.

[Joe Boucher]

Sort of hoping the authorities treat the convention like they did operation MOVE and burn the thing down.

[exit82]

Oversized loads will be banned from traveling in the Philadelphia area from July 23 at noon until midday on July 29.

Then how are they going to get Hillary to the convention?

[Libloather]

I hear that she’s exempt - from everything.

[AF_Blue]

I hope no one is planning to make a household move in the area, as U-Haul trucks are “box” trucks, and it’s during the last week of a summer month.

[real saxophonist]

Commercial vehicles affected will include delivery trucks, utility vehicles, parcel trucks, buses, small dump trucks, buses, cement mixers, flatbed and stake trucks, box trucks and tractor-trailers, officials said.

...And buses.

[stars & stripes forever]

This paranoid action by the DNC will have everyone in Philly demonstrating in front of the convention hall.

I wonder if this actually came from the President. He turned the White House into a fortress AND, remember the heightened security he demanded for his visit in some Eastern country to protect him from wildcats?

[moovova]

“Then how are they going to get Hillary to the convention?”

She’s flying in on her oversized broom.

[Dr. Sivana]

My solution when driving to Connecticut is to avoid I-95 altoger and take I-81 to I-84. That way, no Philadelphia/NYC and no no New Jersey!

[CopperTop]

And I-81 is such a nicer drive. Beautiful scenery!! d:^)

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

I actually did that on a road trip last year. I booked a hotel in Massachusetts near New Hampshire, and to get there, I took 81 to 84 to 90 (MassPike) to 495 (Beltway around Boston) to my hotel. That didn’t get me out of horrendous traffic in Connecticut, however.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Or Michael Moore, for that matter.

I believe that Bill Clinton started the whole White House Fortress thing by blocking off part of Pennsylvania Avenue north of the White House.
