I'm not playing traffic cop. I'm giving them warning that they need to slow down. If they can't, they are not properly in control.
When you get to that corner, you might have to do anything, from traverse to either side to coming to a dead stop. Those behind shoudl be ready for that.
Today's problem was people lined up, not at the end of the trail, looking down Mall. We had people on the left thinking about (and discussing) Stein's, further on the left, looking down Mall, on the right, stopped, and people snowplowing thru the entrance to Snowball.
I need the people behind me to be going slow enough to react to what I have to react to, and my reactions.
I'll stick with my system. I'd rather they break early than find out they have to, when it is too late for them to react.
