I want to see it backed up for nine miles. ;-)

Most of the washington traffic cams seem to be working on this site.

There doesn't look to be anymore traffic then you would expect on a normal work day...

I was looking at the cameras and it seems like just normal traffic to me. I didn't see any slow trucks or anything that didn't look like normal traffic.

I don't see any traffic backed up in any of these cams....

The American's Legion Birdge is backed up and blocked off due to an accident.

I don't think they got as many rally-ers as they wanted.. turn-out is much lower than expected.

(WJLA) - A few dozen trucks bearing the hallmarks of a planned trucker rally on the Capital Beltway have made their way into the D.C. area.

By about 8:45 a.m., Virginia State Police officials said that about 30 tractor trailers left a stop in Dumfries at about 7:30 with plans to head toward Washington.

About 30 trucks and another 15 pickup trucks who were part of the “Truckers Ride for the Constitution” protest began their convoy at 7 a.m. Friday in Virginia, heading north on Interstate 95, according to Virginia State Police.

But... the FB page just hit 164k likes.. waking some people up for sure.

I was really hoping they would show up in the thousands and really rally together to make a point and stand for us American's who do not live close nor drive trucks. Dang it!!

From what I understand most of the Drivers will be there between 2 PM and 3 PM. Also the weather slowed them down a little. I have been listening to live coverage for the last hour they are taking a break now but will be live again in an hour. There are more trucks there than you think and more on the way. The traffic cams keep going down or getting to blurry you can see them. They will be clear then nothing but a streak of lights. Not sure what is going on with that.

I think I found them. trucks

Use Camera #54
There is a big line of them on #44 too.

Also this is a three day event, I hope it gets better.

What happened to the order for the National Guard to block the highway. Guess that was just another internet rumor made up by the people who claim the government lies to them.

No that turned out to be a hoax...

The Admin threw it in the hoax bin apparently not much proof on that..

Actually a media made-up "satire"/rumor/hoax

Don't worry about the MSM not covering this.
Give it another day. They'll be all over it. 4,000+ semis clogging DC isn't something that can be simply dismissed. This will become a logistical nightmare.

I was thinking the same thing, it looks like just a normal traffic day on the washington beltway to me.

I was wondering if many wanted to finish off the work day then head out, wishful thinking.

Let's hope to see many more by 3PM!

Well, it's definitely viral on FB.. 164k to 167k in less than an hour..

Let's hope this rally multiplies exponentially in the remaining couple of days..

These people realize there's this thing called "voting", right?

This whole thing seems silly, childish, and potentially dangerous.

Protesting really never works anyway.

And I haven't seen anymore traffic than normal either.

*yawn*
