Mad Man Traffic

I remember when I used to fly in the helicopter looking down, especially pre-dawn or dusk and seeing all the blinking or flashing lights. Lots of em’. They seemed like they were on everything. Thing is they’re on some vehicles for a reason. They’re emergency vehicles. HERO trucks are emergency vehicles. Recognised by the state of Georgia and authorized to use red flashing lights. So, when one comes up behind you, GET OUT OF THE WAY! I saw it today on the Buford Highway Connector, drivers taking their time to let the HERO by even though it had its emergency lights and siren on! HERO units are some of the most valuable tools for traffic control in Atlanta. You hold them up. You hold yourself up. And that really is “highway robbery.”
