Something has been driving me bananas lately.
During the morning commute, the traffic report-reading guy (Bruce Gunn, from Traffic.com) rattles off any number of formulaic code to describe the traffic conditions in and around the Metroplex. A few:
Traffic is heavy along ____.
Police responding to an accident near ____.
Left lane closed on ____ due to an accident on the shoulder.
Stop and go between _____ and _____.
But there is one that I just cannot decipher:
Accident working on northbound _______.
What on earth does that mean???????
Accident working? Doesn't that sound like an oxymoron? If there is an accident affecting traffic flow, not a whole lot of anything is working, if you ask me.
So for real, anyone, what is this supposed to mean? I'm honestly asking and for the sake of my sanity, I want to know, dang it.

Peter-
Isn't it obvious? This is suppose to help your commute go more smoothly. Unfortunetly, every road in Dallas has 3 names and the traffic people have a lingo that only they know.
I hate that guy....he is monotone, and so predictable. He makes me want to vomit. I switch the dial from NPR to another channel when he comes on. I bet he is a real Jerk.
Duh! It means that people are there "working" on the accident.
And to you John. Hate is a strong word for someone you don't even know. And you call him a jerk? So you haven't met him yet you call him a jerk. Looks like you are the jerk. All the people on NPR are monotone. That's they way they like it. Listen to Howard Stern or something if you want wacky.
