One evening, there was a natural gas leak right before the major entries of high way 78. I came from southwest, driving toward northeast. A lot of police cars blocked the road due to the natural gas leak incident. I put on Google maps after stuck in the traffic for a while (that's my daily commute, I don't need any GPS if everything was normal), and Google maps detoured me to a small road, and directed me to pass the middle barrier as shown in the green line in attached screen shot. The amazing things were:
1. This route was not allowed in a normal condition due to the heave traffic in both directions.
2. The gap between the middle barrier and Police cars were only about 100 feet.
I don't know how Google maps figured out that incredible since the incidents probably only happened 2 hours ago. One I put the Google maps on, it only took me 20 minutes to pass this point. I knew a lot of my friends were stuck there for 4 hours even some of them tried to use GPS. No any other GPS could be so intelligence as Google maps.
