No, absolutely no, literally make sit impossible to not get a ticket from police.

Just enforce the laws around slowing traffic flow as they stand. has anyone ever seen or heard of anyone being ticketed for blocking traffic?

“...has anyone ever seen or heard of anyone being ticketed for blocking traffic?”

High school classmate turned trooper told me this one.

He was heading towards Winchester on Rt. 7 one day and the traffic was slowing up and doing the accordion, and when he got up to the cause it it was a bicyclist all dressed up in his lycra professional bicyclist outfit and he was drifting in and out of the traffic lane and people couldn’t easily pass.

Finally he gets in the left lane lights up on gets to where the bicyclist is and pulls him over. The bicyclist proceeds to demand his rights to the road as he is a bicyclist and the road belongs to him just as much as the other vehicles... etc etc, they argued a bit, the trooper ended with issueing a ticket for impeding traffic and told the jerk that this was his patrol area and he didn’t want to deal with him again. “See you in court I will be there.”
