They also claim the blockades led to the deaths of two people in March.
In order to keep traffic moving safely through the area, the Metro Police Department set up rolling road closures and warned drivers to expect traffic on I-395, I-695, and I-295 because of the demonstration activity by the truckers. They recommend motorists consider taking different streets or use alternative transportation such as Metrorail.
