Driving back from the slopes on Saturday we got caught in a jam due to an accident on the 520 bridge over Lake Washington. Looking at the traffic we can see that while the crash was on the westbound lane (the top of the map), the impact on the flow of traffic on the eastbound lane due to rubbernecking was equally severe. For the record, we couldn’t find any tweets during our 30 mins in slow traffic detailing what had happened, but traditional sources and access to web cams did help.
