So I was driving earlier and was annoyed because a turnaround I usually use was blocked off despite there being no visible reason for it; no active construction, no workers, no hazards other than the cones and barriers themselves. Instead of just Being Annoyed about it, though, I decided to do some digging and find out if there's a reason for it.

Turns out there is! I found a reddit post on r/explainlikeimfive from a decade ago which asks pretty much the same question and had this very enlightening comment underneath:

There are lots of things that become less annoying when you realize just how dangerous cars are.
