    One thing I find obnoxious about police or emergency stops on highways is that they simply block lanes without regard for the safety of traffic, expecting their lights and obstruction to cue drivers into stopping or changing lanes. This is nevertheless dangerous.

    When police or emergency stop on a busy freeway where cars exceed 120 km/h and accidents are fatal, you would expect there to be the deployment of cones or other traffic controlling deterrents to alert drivers much earlier to the danger.

    If you watch the video, although the emergency lights are flashing, you basically have cops parked on a highway. Which is honestly just a shitty idea.
