Fellow London biker TH-camr Bean on Toast has been caught in one of these Met Police closed traffic loops due to a protest. Shockingly poor. It isn't as if they don't face this sort of thing all year round. It is frequent I am surprised there aren't signs and signals in place to managed it.
When they pedestrianised Trafalgar Square, I got stuck in an infinite loop trying to get south of the river. They were pushing everyone up the Strand and then back up to Islington. Stuck in the one way system round Smithfields. It was 3am, heatwave, hordes of drunk nutters turning out of the clubs, and the whole town was just gridlock. Eventually I followed a police car doing an illegal right turn, figuring they couldn't stop and tell me off for something they were doing themselves. Got away with it.
Even the officers are confused

WOW, London should have a dedicated team that handles road closers...hmmm they do in TFL, certainly not the Police.

Your not allowed to push it? Tell him to do one your all allowed to push it when they stop you and pull the keys out 😂
