Yeahhhh, if you want to block a whole damn interstate, especially at night, there need to be all kinds of lights to warn approaching drivers.

I read it as the bulldozer was in the median and the lowboy was parked on the right shoulder. The bulldozer driver was driving the bulldozer across the roadway from the median to the lowboy on the right shoulder when the motorist hit the bulldozer.
That was a really dumb move on the bulldozer driver's part. Ugh. |

Damn, I've smoked a couple deer popping out unannounced from the ditch at night but thankfully never had a fucking bulldozer rear it's ugly head.

Surely they had a crossing permit from the DOT with an MUTCD compliant TCP, right?

Did they have tires down or were they destroying the road with the dozer? I have tracked dozers across pavement many times and we always laid used tires down for the dozer to drive on so it didn't fuck up the road.

Massive fuckup by the driver loading that dozer. Driving a bulldozer across an active interstate 30 minutes after sunset.

At night. On a weekend. No lights. No help.
I'm going to guess over sized / over weight. And the driver didn't have the permits to haul it. I see it all the time. Funnest one was a company tried to move a complete, 175 ton track crane on a Sunday night. They almost made it. Except the trailer broke in half in the middle of the road. |

He should be forced to walk across the interstate every night, back and forth, no lights,just walking across the traffic lanes.
