This is not correct.

No amount of “traffic” control is going to prevent assholes from revving it in neutral.

These people are just bad actors that need to be cited.

It's not about traffic control, it's about making speed physically impossible.

That first one is just a "slalom", an opportunity to test your car's aftermarket suspension (because OF COURSE you have coilovers and sway bars). The second one is an opportunity to test your 60-0-60 brake distances (monoblock caliper upgrade) and acceleration (tire grip from crazy-sticky Michelin Pilot Sport Cups).

Never underestimate the willingness of gearheads to overcome challenges. If people want to drive fast, they will.
