Did you leave your car on the side of Route 95?

Looks like that car that was abandoned Sunday on Route 95 South in Cranston, near Exit 13 for T.F. Green Airport, still remains on the side of the road, in the right breakdown lane, according to the state Department of Transportation.

The DOT has posted a traffic alert about the car since Sunday.

Route 195 West is slightly congested at this hour in Providence, but it’s just getting worse each time we check, according to the DOT’s congestion mapping program, which shows how heavy traffic is on the area’s roadways.

For other traffic needs, check out the state roadways, via the Department of Transportation's online traffic offerings.

You can find any traffic alerts describing accidents here, browse traffic cams to see real-time photos of the highways and check out the DOT’s road construction schedule here.

To report a traffic incident, call the Transportation Management Center at (401) 222-5826 and choose option #2.

Here's a crazy idea...

TOW IT AWAY!

God, why do the easy answers come so hard in this state?

Isn't there a policy to identify who owns the car and allow a certain number of hours for the owner to remove the vehicle? If it is not removed within the allowed time the vehicle would be removed at the owners expense as it constitutes a highway safety risk.

I'm sure that could be done, Dennis, but it might involve a union member actually getting some actual WORK done.
