It's more serious than that. Car owners (or co-ops) can send their cars to loiter in deliberately created traffic jams and have them wait there all day, because it is cheaper than paying for parking. Then you press a button when you want your car, and it turns out of the traffic jam and comes and gets you.
If you actually want to go down the road that has been selected as the most appropriate place to loiter... too bad for you.
