I figured this out fairly early on because a similar situation used to occur on the Merritt Parkway in Connecticut. There was one section where you could be driving Southbound and climbing a hill in the late afternoon. Then when you crested the hill, you would find yourself staring directly into the Sun. This would often cause drivers to have a panic reaction and slam on their brakes. While this would happen in the Southbound lane, the Merritt is a very windy road and must curve to the left (i.e., to the West) at that section. I am not sure if that happens year-round but at different times of day, but I only experienced it when the sun was setting at roughly 6:00 pm because I would often take the Merit after work to visit my family in the Bronx, particularly when my Dad was in the hospital. I have to imagine that there are lots of accidents at or around the top of that hill, but I never heard about that section being closed because of that risk.
I love that ancient people aligned building with the sun to make cool effects at specific points of the year, while we don't care to the point of making galss buildings that melt the one on front of them by reflecting the sun's rays, or roads that are partially blinding people. Food for thoughts.
Really. We take builgind stuff for granted. The effort it took to build something back in the day meant that people would think about every little aspect of it before committing to dozens of years of labour.
That's a huge portion of survivorship bias - most structures are long gone and/or don't comply with your ideas. Worse, your example is comically mundane - building to have the sun shine in through your door at one specific time of year is trivially easy. At the same time, you're taking for granted how enormous these road projects are; the i-70 is about 2000 miles long at a glance.
In Gillette, Wyoming, the highway department occasionally closes a I-90 because it is right next to a coal excavation pit. When the coal company is about to dynamite a new section, they temporarily close the road to prevent accidents due to the explosion and dust in the air. Or at least they used to, I haven't lived there for almost 2 decades.
That was my immediate first thought when I heard eastbound and morning rush hour. We get that kind of thing driving around town in Seattle all the time at sunrise and sunset, so it's a very familiar scenario.
not what i was expecting, i had guessed it was some kinda prisoners dilemma thing where by closing the fastest route, they actually make average travel times faster
My first guess was that some animals that live around there tend to cross over that road in the morning. So safer for drivers and for the animals if the road closes for that period of time.
I was thinking that the whole time, but I considered Clear Skies as weather. As a Chicago native I had no idea what it was like to drive into the sun going east/west as everything is North/South. (hwy 41/94) Edit: Until I moved out of state.
I'm also a Chicago native. Except for diagonal streets the expressways, all the roads are on a grid system. But I didn't notice this until I had to commute between Evanston and the O'Hare area by car. This occurs for a few days around the equinoxes. ISTR traffic reports mentioning slowdowns due to this occasionally, and I think there's one specific road on a small hill in a western suburb.where this sometimes occurs.
A section of I-90 leading westbound out of Spokane, WA has this exact same problem. The Sunset Hill is steep and points directly at the sun nearly every evening. It's especially bad after a rainfall and the road is reflective. They have never once closed the freeway for this, though.
I grew up in Denver (but left before I could drive). I-70 comes down out of the mountains into Denver, and I thought this was going to be more strongly related to that, (though it is at least somewhat of a factor).
First time I actually knew the answer when the question was read. I live 15 minutes from Floyd hill and the shutdown is well known, but impacts very little people since morning traffic is more westbound into the mountains.
I'm from Colorado and my first thought was the tarantula migration, but that's not close to I-70. Then I remembered it was only the eastbound lane (and looked up where on 70 Floyd Hill is) and I got it. I can definitely see how that stretch would get really bad in the mornings.
I thought this was related to the Steve Mould video. There are traffic dependent roads and traffic independed roads, so it is better for everyone if they closed a section of road and forced people to take an alternative route that lowered the travel time for everyone because they moved from a small tight road to a freeway with less traffic. The video is called "The Spring Paradox."
My first thought was that the EB lanes were closed to convert to WB lanes - I've heard of some places with reversible lanes for the morning/evening rushes - but then I checked a map, and eastbound from Floyd Hill is right into Denver, so the morning rush would, if anything, need more lanes.
That was my first thought and I was happy to see others thought of it as well. I grew up in a place where I don't think they did that but it was considered; one big business in the region, just a couple of roads to get there that couldn't easily be widened (mountains), EVERYONE was coming in and leaving at the same times every day.
I’m from Denver and it is actually quite the opposite here. Many people don’t commute from the mountains into Denver in the morning. Most traffic in the morning is actually westbound as people go into the mountains to ski or hike.
Floyd Hill is about 20 miles west of Denver. It's at about 8000 feet elevation, where Denver is just over 5K. So it's quite steeply downhill on sections going east. There have been multiple runaway truck accidents over the years resulting in multiple fatalities each. I used to commute downtown on US 6, where the sun is directly in your eyes both in the morning and evening at some times of year. They never close 6 for sun, although it tends to move slowly pretty much every commuting hour. I hated US 6 like no other road in the world. Fortunately, those days are past.
There was a stretch of ... I want to say Highway 26 heading from Hillsboro, Oregon eastbound down the hill towards Portland where the sun would shine directly in your face in the morning, blinding you. It was called the Sunrise corridor or something, but if you didn't have sunglasses, it was undrivable.
That's the Sunset Highway, because it's also westbound out of Portland; it's got its moments - I drive into Portland on 26 about 7am two days a week - but fortunately 26 is in a little canyon and has plenty of curves; the sunrise dazzle isn't sustained for miles.
I actually thought of the solution fairly early on, BUT I immediately brushed it off because the question said "sometimes." I figured that meant it was very irregular, not (as I imagine) every day during some months.
had a similar problem last summer going westbound down the 10 to attend a practice in the evening. The area is also under contruction right now and there have been a lot of moving the lanes about so when the sun is in your eyes, it can be a bit hard to tell which lines are actually the current lane markers
First guess was toads, that cross the road in the morning, and since they're a protected species, the road is closed for a while to allow safe crossing. Second guess was that it's a bridge that is not designed to withstand all the rush hour traffic, with a risk of collapse, so they close one way to lighten the load. Then I had a look at where Floyd Hill is in Colorado, and I saw that it's dry as heck, and there are no river big enough for a bridge for miles around. Well.
wish the whole episodes were on RUclips :/ I've tried listening to the podcast, but it's just really dry without visuals--goes in one ear and out the other. listened to this episode twice and don't remember anything from it but the parts I've seen clips of here.
I got this one, but not until he reminded us to think about the specific words in the question. As soon as you think of morning and East it becomes quite clear. Probably the ONLY one I'll get, mind.
Oh wow I've got family in Colorado and have visited a lot, never would have guessed that! I thought for sure it was something animal migration related. Cool!
My first guess - Steve Mould made a video about cutting the string between some springs paradox, which translates to closing down the fast road the connect the slower ones actually decreases the overall travel time. CGP Grey probably made a video about that as well. My 2nd guess - on a hill, in the morning, eastbound, short but regular closure --> maybe during the sunrise if the sun rises directly into their eyes and it would cause chaos if everybody drived blind edit: wheeey, I was right!
Blast, I was way off. Given that this is Colorado during morning rush hour (and I live nowhere near Colorado, so "Floyd Hill" could just as easily have been a person for all I knew) I had thought it might have something to do with blocking off civilian access in the area around NORAD. The answer made a ton of sense once I heard it, though.
So a river being too full is considered to still be weather related, even if that overly full river is existing in excellent weather coniditions (as per the phrasing of the question), but it being too sunny is somehow not considered weather related?
Yeah I guessed that too when Tom asked the question. Although I didn't get the hint with Floyd "Hill", I know Colorado is pretty mountainous, and the eastbound + morning hints were pretty obvious to me as well.
Yep, as someone who occationally has to deal with "Solar Glare", and it makes the morning traffic reports, I figured this out too at the reading of the question.
in the description, it says this is being recorded in a studio in Fublin. i'm curious if Tom Scott is staying in Ireland or if this is recorded well in adavance
I got this almost immediately, for some reason because of Manhattanhenge. Don't ask me how I got there, I had heard about Manhattanhenge about two years ago (maybe even longer), but it somehow lead to me getting this answer.
I thought for sure it'd be for avy bombing once they started talking about weather. Happens fairly frequently in Canada but I guess it would be unlikely to only close one direction.
I thought falling rocks but then I was like “no it can’t be that, too obvious”. What doesn’t make sense about the sunlight explanation is why do they need to close it both directions? It should only be an issue for eastbound drivers, right?
I figured it was going to be about animals, like some migratory event or something. Like they close it during peak times of the Tarantula migration lol
First, to Inés Dawson, Americans don't understand Americans, so please don't sweat that part. It just means that you are likely a critical thinker, which is looked down upon by most of my country. Second, how lovely that an American transportation department has taken that into consideration! For reasons stated above.
Same...but then, if like a federally-protected herd of wild horses crosses the eastbound lanes of the Interstate in the morning...surely they'd also cross the westbound lanes at roughly the same time.
@@empath69unless our hypothetical horses were actually using the road to get from one place to another, such as crossing a ravine. The real answer makes more sense, though.
My (incorrect) guess -- there have been cases where closing a main road (e.g. for repairs) has actually improved traffic flow. Instead of everyone heading for the same route, they disperse over many smaller roads, reducing the bottleneck effect.
I say this having not heard the correct answer yet, but this one seems so simple! I know things are harder when you're put on the spot, but they're thinking a bit too laterally on this one.
yeah, we have moose crossing warning signs, where moose tend to migrate and I wondered if there was like a protected herd of wild horses that would cross that part of the highway at that time of the morning...
I was thinking that too. Thinking that some corporate entity gave up land to allow the construction of the interstate but on the condition that they could use it for a landing strip when necessary.
First thought: sun glare. Rising sun + lake or something disadvantageous making it dangerous to drive? Otherwise it's to let planes use it as a runway 😆
I'm from Colorado and drive on this stretch of I-70 frequently, and I've somehow never heard about this. Good to know.
Obviously not a morning person, then 🙂
I think CDOT only started the closure a few years ago.
I was first thinking frequent rock falls, but as soon as Tom stressed "Eastbound" I saw the light.
Same and I drive at all hours but admittedly avoid rush hour.
To not let the chicken cross of course
Honestly, I thought some sort of animal migration could've been the answer
Did the chicken come up with the "why did the chicken" jokes? 🤔
the chicken finds a way
Wouldn't a closed road be easier for a chicken to cross?
RadicalRegice I think you mean "The chicken… uh, finds a way."

I love that ancient people aligned building with the sun to make cool effects at specific points of the year, while we don't care to the point of making galss buildings that melt the one on front of them by reflecting the sun's rays, or roads that are partially blinding people.
Food for thoughts.
Really. We take builgind stuff for granted. The effort it took to build something back in the day meant that people would think about every little aspect of it before committing to dozens of years of labour.
To be fair, it's survivorship bias. Civilizations that were successful in architecture would be remembered as they survived.
That's a huge portion of survivorship bias - most structures are long gone and/or don't comply with your ideas. Worse, your example is comically mundane - building to have the sun shine in through your door at one specific time of year is trivially easy.

This was my thought as well, took until Tom stressed "east bound in the morning" until i got it.
Good luck getting that legislation to pass. There will be a LOT of regulars going "wtf you thinking? You took my freedom to take that road!"
That sounds more like *Braess's paradox* than Prisoner's dilemma, but the two are related anyway.
More specifically braess's paradox, but a more general idea that could apply is Tragedy of the Commons.
I had the same idea. How many of us watched Steve Mould's Spring Paradox video?

Aeronautics considers daylight and darkness “weather” this is why you need an “all weather” aircraft to fly in darkness.
