Saw a CHP Motorcycle cop do this several years ago. No one even got close to him as drivers did in this video. He stopped and picked up three sheets of plywood off the highway. Moved them off the highway. Once he got done, got back on his motorcycle and took off so did everyone else.
Usually traffic breaks are performed by highway patrol in order to create a less hazardous driving environment. Essentially, a traffic break is the creation of traffic separation by a traffic patrol officer slowly swerving back and forth across all lanes of a highway, not allowing other vehicles to pass. This is usually implemented to protect drivers from hazards on the road
In this case, the workers seem to the right side of the video were setting up whatever tbey were doing. He was pulling over so they could have time to set up. The driver in front was already getting ahead and obviously didn’t know. It’s usually safe just to stop until he lets you go
"When the CHP car is zig zagging ALL lanes of traffic must stay/stop behind until directed" Some informational billboards strategically placed are in order. Drivers not from SoCal get so confused by this sometimes. It's crazy how it's only three lanes and he's doing the break super cautiously yet someone tries to go by...I did the same thing one time, but he wasn't so nice. In contrast, there is another traffic break video but all drivers understand what's going on. 8 or 10 lanes stopped way faster too.
Yeah, my wife got her first ticket in like 10 years from this a few years back because she had no idea what it was. From Chicago originally and had never seen it before.
@@circlePulse I've seen stops in other states where the obstruction is not on the shoulder, but the road itself with hwy patrol trying to navigate through cars whizzing by... so it seems not. In any case CHP method is superior...much safer
I have lived in 7 different states and travelled all over and been driving for 28 years. I have never seen a traffic break in person. If it weren’t for TH-cam I wouldn’t know what this is.
honestly i love these. at least when im at the front. i rarely ever see them anymore. last time i did i had some asshole honking at me for driving slow. cop yelled at him over the loud speaker lmao.
I've been the car right behind the chp several times. If the lights are on don't pass. Slow down stay behind. The specific law says,"It is against the law to follow within 300 feet of any fire engine, law enforcement vehicle, ambulance, or other emergency vehicle when their siren or flashing lights are on."
There can be a lot of reasons for that. Oftentimes it is to safely remove objects from the street that might be a danger for causing accidents. Other times it might be because of wrong way drivers coming towards traffic (and the police obviously). Here is an example where the German highway patrol clears the Autobahn with its Mercedes-Benz (point of view) to make it safe for a helicopter to land next to an accident: th-cam.com/video/4w15WX-_Ggg/w-d-xo.html Example of removing objects from the street: th-cam.com/video/n3kvkMeP01A/w-d-xo.html
@@jamesburton1050 I just realized that the description of this video even explains "Traffic breaks in the California Highway Patrol are used to slow down traffic due to debris, highway cleanup, or a traffic collision ahead." So yeah, probably. And my first assumption was right. Watch the second video I linked in my first comment, and you see how officers throw debris to the side. In this video I found, I like how they opened the doors before stopping to be extremely obvious...
No, its because if there is a hazardous thing ahead, the chp will cause a break in traffic, allowing space for emergency responders to go through as a clear path.
How are you, friend? Can I use your clip in my video for Educational Purpose with full credit and link? Also how do you want me to express your reactions on the video
Hi! Can I include this video in my new compilation? In the description I will put the link to Your channel, while the name of your channel will be put in the compilation. Thanks
I thought he was trying out the new rules of the road. We no longer have lanes in highways. It’s one big lane and enjoy yourself. Would have been funny if everyone duplicated his maneuvers.
I remember this happening as well but plot twist. He did cause of me, lol. I had ran out of fuel on my bike (fuel gauge stopped working on brand new bike) and I was on the shoulder of the number 1 lane (fast lane side). He must’ve seen me from the opposite side. He had to of started a mile back or so, I didn’t know until I heard him in his loud speaker to push it to the other side. But by that time my wife had already arrived with some extra fuel.
It's also possible someone called 911. As a general rule of thumb if you call 911 and tell them that there is a hazard or a vehicle in traffic or something similar, they will generally run the traffic break about a mile before that incident so the only way you know that somethings going weird is all of a sudden the traffic is not there lol which is a very strange feeling to have
THIS WAS DEFINITELY NOT ON MY WITTEN DRIVER TEST!!! IM 42 AND HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS! I WOULD HAVE ASSUMED SOME IDIOT STOLE A COP CAR AND DROVE AS FAST AS I COULD TO GET AWAY FROM IT!!!😂

they are a worldwide thing not just california@@CiaGuy

It happens quite often in traffic heavy places like LA. But in Orange County we get the same thing. I see it maybe once or twice a month.

Hello, May I use this clip in my video? It will be credited on screen and by link in the description. Where did this happen ?
Yes you can! Los Angeles
Hi there, can i feature this clip in my coming dashcam montage? You will be fully credited for it!
Sure go ahead!
Must be California because of these stupid drivers trying to pass the CHP
Now where in the hell is my donut!!
Turn around we have to buy it
I've never seen them do this before
If I saw a cop do this I'd wonder if the cop were on something. This was not covered in my driving course and looks erratic.
I saw this on the nj turnpike and there was a fed ex truck ahead and I thought it was a stolen vehicle and the cop was holding up traffic
Hmm, thought he was ending it there at one point! Any idea what for?

All this clip needed was some chase music from 1970s CHiPs with the funky bass.
Glazed donuts and gummies don't mix😅

Sure! Anything is fine!
Is this a California thing or what cuz I have never seen this anywhere.
Craziness at it's best!
Hey ,this is Revit up .
May i use this clip in my next compilation video ,Any updates?
Thanks!
Yeah sure!
@@peanutbuttertwinz Thanks a lot!
They use to do this in the movie CHiPs
They got it from real life. CHP is almost the only agency who does this. UHP (Utah) does it too but rarely.

Go ahead!
@@peanutbuttertwinz Thanks my man!
Hello! Would it be ok for me to share your clip for my vide edit? I'll credit you with watermark on screen of course. Thanks in advance!
Sure!
I have never seen nothing like this.
Very common in California
The same here.I live in Germany and I guess it's not very common over here
Utah does it too but rarely. The only state that does it routinely is California. Almost no other state does this.
@@PartiallyCookedWisconsin does this. Especially during Harely event in Milwaukee.

Bruh why he doin dat
I thought he was trying out the new rules of the road. We no longer have lanes in highways. It’s one big lane and enjoy yourself. Would have been funny if everyone duplicated his maneuvers.
Is this in the DMV handbook?
yep
California Driver's Handbook, Section 8 on "Safe Driving": "Law Enforcement Traffic Breaks"
Where's the rest???
Some are aggressive when that happens
Pull off the road is a bad move
I’m not dumb enough to go past a cup cruiser if I did, I would get ticket
Why does the Highway Police do that about Sigsageo? Do you have a reason why you do that?
To slow down/stop traffic for a hazard ahead.
@@thebronzetoo Ok
so nobody can pass.

Likely as you aren’t from California or the west coast. It’s more common there
turn in your license
I bet they enjoy doing this
Maybe enjoy it, unless they have a bit of nausea from the rushed "Code 7" they get pulled out of. 🤢🤮😎
Does anyone know the reason
Debris on roadway ahead
@@MeoMiyo or stalled vehicle
I thought it was gta but it’s real
what a tediouse joib
never get by pass chp
