The way read it, the sheriff asked him to shut it down because the traffic jam blocked emergency vehicles from reaching the accident.
The simple solution is to develop a traffic control plan so that between certain hours lookysees drive by in one direction only, leaving the other side of the street for through traffic, neighbors, etc. It could work, maybe.
Yeap. There is a house in ABQ that people go see every year. Neighbors took the people to court over the traffic & exhaust harming them.
