Unless you crawled into the frame of the trailer you would not have seen it.

ROOKIE MISTAKE!!!!
My first week as a regional driver I'm sent to Medina,OH for a pickup. It was night time and snowing. The street that I was traveling on suddenly became a DEAD END/ONE-WAY street, if that makes any sense at all. I was supposed to turn right at the beginning of the one way. I kept on rolling and after a 1 1/2 blocks I was wondering, "Why is traffic driving in my lane directly towards me?"
Thats when all of the (Do Not Enter)and (One Way)signs began appearing. My first thought is OH #####. Now I'm a rookie driver who has to backup about 50 yards with cars parked on the side of the road/ traffic driving directly at me and straight line backing through an entire intersection without hitting anything or person. When it happened I was scared,embarrassed, and nervous but I lived and I learned.
