There has to be room for improvement - people got stuck in long traffic jams with no warning, or a way out.
The start of the 10k race yesterday was delayed by about 15 minutes. Another runner nearby asked one of the starters as we ran through the start gate what the holdup was. The starter replied that the police/organizers forgot to close 9th ave.

I would imagine the hasty closure of one of the main roads downtown led to some unintended jams. Also supports your thought of there being room for improvement.
