The CHP strategically chose that street because it's busy with no way to go around it.

Yep, and it's the perfect choke point, there's no where to turn to, it's basically a 1/4 mile long road with no other streets intersecting it.

if i saw that up ahead i would either A pull a u-turn or B just make a left.

its not like they have 1 on every street. its just on a mainstreet to catch people that either dont see or are too lazy to go around it.

you say its a 1/4 mile. but i can see that far. and i always go around police checkpoints. i dont have anything to hide but i cant be hassled with the lost time. i just noticed they put up a barrier so you cant make a u-turn. shitty.
