In this country, the respect for people working on the roads have sunk to such a level that the fire brigade don't go out on the motorways any longer, in spite of alert signs, flashing blue lights on their lorries and high visibility clothing.
They park something like a 25 ton water tank lorry across the lanes first, as a barrier. Sometimes they create a chicane, with two/three trucks and police in place. The make the speed trap narrow enough that you can't make it until you are down to a walking pace.
Since drivers aren't clever enough to slow down when there's an accident, they have to wait instead.
