Remember when PG county’s finest citizens blocked it off while they cut donuts in the middle of the beltway? Cops let them walk. If the truckers show up and impede traffic on the beltway they will have the book thrown at them.You don't need a convoy on 495 to tie up traffic. A normal day already ties it up.

As long as they obey all traffic laws and stick to federal highways, the Illinois State Police shouldn't say a damned word.Illinois State Police threaten legal consequences for convoy participants
The Saturday afternoon announcement from ISP said "officials have become aware of a planned event along several interstate corridors scheduled for Saturday, February 26, 2022 – Saturday, March 5, 2022, where truck drivers plan to conduct a 'convoy' causing traffic delays and potentially crashes."

"Traffic backups are a major contributing cause to traffic crashes which lead to property damage, personal injury, and even death. A planned event designed to impede normal traffic flow is dangerous to the innocent motoring public."
