It seems a bit odd, I mean, would it be that difficult to just hold up the runners for a second and let us drive a block down the street so we can get out? I wonder what they'd do if someone needed to catch a plane or something.
Just seems a bit odd that they wouldn't have some system in place for letting people out. Definitely poor planning on the part of whoever set this up.

Every city in North America has these. and yes holding up the runners is a bad idea.
This run has been going on for decades so they aren't surprising too many people but part of planning these things to have signs up the week before to let everyone in the neighborhood know.
If they didn't have signs they should have.
