4:52 am
4:53 am
let's get traffic and weather together. good morning, torey good morning everyone. still a quiet ride out there. i know you notice these flashing police lights here. it seems to be just a simple routine traffic stop. this is 202 at styles boulevard in chester county no problems through the intersection, it is not blocking any lanes but one of the things where we saw activity in the cameras because really comparable to everything else we are dealing with right now. it is very calm. we don't have much to talk about which is how we like it. ninety-five looks good in either direction. no major problems. construction not setting you back which is a turn off events for what we are dealing with on i-95 but speed sensors are great. i-95 is 55. fifty-three on 476. pennsylvania turnpike 202. 422 all moving well.
