Like lemmings (although as we discussed before, the lemmings got a bad rep from questionable editing), the Good People of Washington State just did as the sign told them.

I think this is actually a bit scary, and stupid. People were so intent on following the instructions given to them by the government that common sense flew out the window (we needed The Olympian to point out "when traffic is moving more slowly, vehicles can be closer because they don't move as far in two seconds.")

This is like the people who actually went out and bought duct tape to prevent chemicals after a biological attack from coming into their home.
