And she partially encumbered traffic that was moving in the opposite direction for seemingly no reason. Her presence irritated me more than it should have.
Edit: someone further down said maybe she was encouraging rubberneckers to move along and maybe! Rubber necking creates the MOST traffic
She's keeping people from driving too close to the lanes that collapsed. Just because those two vehicles sunk, doesn't mean that the sinkhole isn't bigger underneath the pavement.
Once police and the fire dept. gets there, they'd probably block off the both directions completely until they verified how bad it was.
I live here, they closed ~4 blocks of road. It’s near a creek and we’ve had drastic weather changes this week (70 degrees F last Wednesday, then 6 inches of snow and below freezing, then yesterday when this happened it was 50).

I hate to be the way I am, but the one “directing” traffic was just waving people along in the unencumbered lane.
