I’ve asked the dudes at the street stops if they know what roads are closed off so I can figure out how to get home and they said “Move Along” even though there are no cars around me. I just got off night shift and I’m going back to work tonight. My gps isn’t showing the road blocks, the marathon map basically just shows the marathon goes around my place. Any ideas?

Genuine question:

You can’t get back near where you live or you can’t get your car back near where you live?

Park as close as you can and walk.

The Waze app shows the road closures and can navigate you to your destination.

The police who sit at the road blocks during the marathon are literally useless. I remember last year I couldn’t get out of my parking deck to go to work & I had to yell at the officers to point me in the right direction. Not sure what they’re doing there if all they do is sit & twirl their thumbs.

I don't use the voice features for waze (I use a windshield mount for my phone so the map is in my line of sight while driving). But they do have lane indicators now for turns, and I've never had an issue with the visual prompts for turns showing up too late

I've def been yelled at by runners cause I had to cross broad while walking my bike. Cause I had work and lived in Jackson Ward at the time.

But fuck em. I just yelled back. I'm all for healthy hobbies but I have bills to pay man. What can ya do? 🤷‍♂️

I know it’s over but Waze and google maps both have all the road closures

Also the cops that are there know absolutely nothing and are about as useful as tits on a bull
