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.
