Up here on Southchester Dorian, where are we stopping the traffic? Is it off-pland isn't really such a fly?

01:24
I'm a room ford Explorer and I'm a red truck to drive way.
01:31
All right, Ville, three, seven.

I think you should just be blocking the road so that the northbound...
01:40
...is one direction seven six or south highway.

Is it blocked off? Because I don't see anything southbound right now.

I'm redirecting traffic at Southbound Chester to Westbound Sandra because there's people going across the road right here near Geneva and they're handing out food so it's probably a pedestrian crossing hazard.
02:39
Yeah, let's keep all of North and Southbound blocked off on Chester until they get to Wilson.
02:47
Copy, I'll just divert traffic to southbound traffic to Westbound Orient.
02:53
Copy, there's already cars filling in behind me at the back of the parade northbound, so as soon as they get up to Wilburne.
