Yikes what a mess. Around 11 this morning we passed by. 100+ cars south bound and 40 or 50 north bound. numerous collisions. Lots of police. Didn't see any ambulances. this was south of the north loop and before the I 45 I 10 interchange.

Wasn't just one. There are dozens and dozens of cars going the wrong way. So many I couldn't tell which way was the right.

I've seen lots of stuff on Houston roads but...how is this even possible? Did they open the entrance to go northbound?

Linked story says somebody drove through a closed gate going the wrong way and then I would imagine folks thought it was open and followed.

That's probably exactly what happened, though it is still hard to fathom that drivers would see an open lane for the HOV north and think it was really a good idea to try it out.

Yeah. It's pretty well known that it's inbound in the morning and outbound in the afternoon.

I think the problem is the big assumption that the drivers were "thinking"
