Re: Making transit a higher priority not that difficult, letter to the editor, Feb. 6
I agree with the 601 driver who wrote that when the police and coroner have closed the highway to investigate a fatality, the bus should be allowed through.
I would go further and say all traffic should go through. The police and coroner should not be required, or indeed allowed, to close the highway for this purpose. Since the victim has already died, no life is saved, and while investigation is important, it is not infinitely important.
If we consider the known inconvenience and unknown ripple effects when thousands of people can't get where they are going, it should be clear what should give way to what.
