I had the pleasure of witnessing the traffic signals and railroad crossing arms go berserk at 48th and Highway 2 just now. It was pretty entertaining to watch, except that I was stuck in traffic as a result. When the lights on 48th Street turned green, the crossing arms would come down. When the Highway 2 lights turned green, the arms went up. But the really fun part was that you never knew how long the green light would last. Sometimes the light on Highway 2 would only stay green for a few seconds. Long story short, within a matter of minutes traffic was backed up for blocks.
I have to assume the problem was caused in part by the semi parked across the tracks and pointed south in the northbound lanes of 40th Street at Highway 2. I'm not sure how it managed to get there, nor did I get a good look at the scene as the bus drove by.

See what your friends and neighbors have to say about this.
I couldn’t figure out what that semi was doing either. It was obviously broken down though. When I drove by another tractor was pulling up alongside and a huge tow truck was pulling up in front of it.
I forgot to post an update to this: it appears the semi got there as a result of this accident that left a man in critical condition.
