Not like there's a hospital nearby that people might be trying to get to.
If you had 2-3 police officers directing traffic I bet they could do it even faster.
And yet people really think we should design for an annual (?) occurrence that will delay a couple of dozen people less than an hour...
I expect there are going to be multiple "annual (?) occurences" that we will encounter that stress the limitations of our system.
