My son Gabriel worked one summer on the Mass Pike.. The staff is trained to always stop and offer help.. He tried his best to do so but being low man on the crew noticed that at times his boss would not stop.. There seemed to be a racial barrier.. This really bothered Gabe.. I was very proud of him for noticing and questioning this attitude. Of course he was never hired again to work for the turnpike.. As for me I once was stuck first in line at a light on route 9 coming out of Amherst anyone from this area knowes what that can be like. Didn't really bother me that knowone stopped but really made me mad that people yelled at me and flipped me off for being stuck.. STRANGE COUNTRY THIS...
