Which works to the advantage of the city. They want to you stop to work your job (income tax), buy stuff (sales tax), participate on foot (low pollution). Not drive through (consumes tax dollars on roads, high pollution). In the long term if you move closer or change your commute mode they win too.
I am thinking more about Uber drivers I guess, who won’t be able to enter and exit all day. So they may be just sticking around the city, causing traffic.
