If I
was the Emperor, I would institute just
and merciless punishment to anyone who carelessly or willfully impairs the free
flow of traffic.
There are several
offenses that would draw long jail terms –
purposefully or accidentally causing traffic jams at peak hours,
organizing or participating in any “Walk for [fill in the blanks with your
favorite cause], protesting for any
cause in a way that disrupts traffic.
People who run out of gas or breakdown during rush hour would be ticketed and fined; repeat offenders would lose
their licenses.
These royal edicts may seem Draconian to some folks but they enforce a basic tenet of civilization: roads are designed to improve the speed of travel from point A to point B.
I think "Thou
shalt not willfully impede traffic" should have been one of the commandments, or at least mentioned somewhere in the Constitution.
