The @NebraskaDOT did a great job clearing the interstate, but there are still slick spots especially on bridges. Nearly 90mph is ridiculous on a good day let alone during winter driving conditions. Let’s make better decisions people!

It’s a crazy day when working a traffic assignment, a pickup drives onto sidewalk and nearly hits a traffic signal. The driver staggers out of vehicle and says it’s ok, I’m getting my kids. He later blows over 4x legal limit.

All lanes open!
I-80 EB at 84th St has the left two lanes blocked for a jackknifed semi. Slow down and move right.

We know it’s game day & Black Friday, but there’s no excuse for driving this recklessly! One of our traffic units stopped this driver on the North Freeway near Lake St., for driving 108mph in the 60mph zone. #slowdown #DriveSafe #GBR!
