Here's the funny part. I don't remember what road we were on but there's an intersection and if I turn left I can get right up on the 65. So I get up to the light and the glorified ISP traffic cop tells me I can't turn left even though there's no one there I go what do you mean I can't turn left or 65 right there. He says turn right then go down and turn left and come back up.
So this dimwit puts me back into traffic going the opposite direction. So I reached f it. I was in my truck not my BMW, so I went over the median and did a u-turn. I did not go all the way down to the light and do a u-turn. Because there was no reason to when I could have easily turned left and been on 65 3 minutes ago.
Going in to park and coming out was an absolute cluster. The traffic patterns and the roads that were closed and direction they had us going made absolutely no sense whatsoever... coming out of the parking lot they put us on a road with four lanes. No one directing traffic. It was up to us to merge together four lanes into two. We get up to the light and there's two state troopers standing there. It was everything that I could not to roll my window down and say hey if you're going to stand there then do something with the traffic. If you're not going to do anything then get out of the damn way.
ISP was absolutely useless when it came to traffic control and they were the ones that were handling 90% of the traffic.
A couple of drunk guys with some flashlights could have done a better job

Tony’s record still stands….We shall see what Larson can do NEXT year
Wait till they get all them dedicated Bus lanes in through out the cityThat's just a typical day in Indy during construction season...
I hope Indy car drops a fine on him.Wow! NBC missed bleeping out Pato Oward's "F-word" in their post race interview!
He is such a CRY Baby
We got back to Greensburg after midnight. The monsoon that opened up on the drive was not fun. Hey, let's turn on flashers causing it to be harder to see really helps.
Dropped off our other party of 2, then headed to my folks. Kid got his merch. After some coffee, time to migrate back up north.

For me, this was my 30th attended 500. I've been going since I was 15 (Missed 3 times: 1. The race that was run on Tuesday & getting off work another day was a hard no. 2. Buddy's wedding in Evansville- hottest race run on record. 3. Covid).
This was the 2nd worst traffic year I've experienced.

Then I blame my navigator. He couldn't find it yesterday.i think they do

EDIT: I sent it to him and told him to save it.
"Vehicular traffic exiting Indianapolis Motor Speedway parking lots will be directed by public safety officials to ensure the quickest possible route."
Lol...that's bs. There wasn't a quick route in or out yesterday. It still sucked donkey balls... the problem is the public safety officials didn't do much when the way of directing. Out of the about dozen ISP meter maids that we saw on our way out only two were actually directing traffic the rest were just standing there

Traffic aside (lol) the race was awesome. The last few laps were some of the best racing I have seen at Indy. They needed that
The race itself was one of the best I’ve seen in years. I was not there in person his year. However, given past exit the race history….
If Artificial Intelligence as it is hyped to be able to solve al the world’s problems, perhaps it could be used to solve the horrendous parking and traffic issues surrounding the Indy 500 because it’s clear the human idiots in charge are incompetent and worthless!

The police you see at the traffic locations have no input on traffic flow. They are given an assignment that says go to X location, send all traffic this direction, and don’t let any traffic go that direction. It’s a giant machine made of small cogs. All the police you encounter are doing is following their instructions.

I am curious if AI would be able to predict heavily traffic areas and simulate/plan strategy accordingly. That would be one area I would like to see AI actually used. Good idea.
Except the ones I saw were just standing around while people were fighting for position as lanes were being choked down..
