That video is funny, Fogfighter, but I'm sure dealing with the traffic jams at the beginning was very difficult. It's one thing to drive down a straight road, but turns, circles (aka roundabouts), and emergency situations requiring fast thinking probably led to some bad accidents.
When life shuts a door, open it again. It's a door. That's how they work.

Would be pretty impossible to do nearly 60 years later, given the rise in population, car ownership, motorways/freeways...
