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.
You’re completely right and I’ve never seen this for traffic stops in Europe, they’ll make you park somewhere safe, at the very worst, in the emergency lane, but even that is rare for traffic stops. The only times I see lanes blocked is when there’s been an accident/breakdown and then the first thing they do is bring massive light panels well ahead of the spot to make everyone clear the lane.
