Challenges

Hit a cobble shelf around 180ft. Steering went erratic under the north lane — active interference from the traffic signal loop.

Tips for the next crew

Shoot the walkover grid before the shift starts. Drop to 6ft/min through the shelf and bump the polymer; the shelf is only ~30ft wide.
