Just wondering if when BP shuts down the border traffic, such as for the teachers pension protest, does that effect foot traffic as well? I know the teachers plan had been to block the lanes of the border for car traffic. So not sure if the gov't shutdown foot traffic as well.
However, the CHP was diverting traffic on the highways so that if you were driving south on I-5, you would be forced to turn east on 905 away from the border. Same with I-805 coming south. They didn't want there to be a huge clog of traffic backed up at the border while it was closed.
I went down to TJ that weekend, and had a plan ready for getting off I-5 early, and taking surface streets to the border. Didn't need it as they had already stopped the traffic diversion as of about 1pm.
In this most recent protest, I don't think anything got 100% shut down. It was however intended to shut down all traffic including pedestrian, and the police on the US side were going to block the pedestrian bridge to keep the peace.
During the last protest pedestrians were able to cross in and out of Mexico. (The line was almost non-existant as everybody assume it was closed.) Of course, nobody can say what will happen next time.
