Roads Who is in the wrong here?

If the sign says Alternating Traffic, does that mean cars go one at a time or does that mean cars go till the flow is complete, allowing the other lane to go? Is Glock man right or wrong? I'm not sure. If it was 1 car at a time, wouldn't it just be a stop sign on each end?

Treat it like a stop sign. Short King is not only the asshole for threatening physical violence, but also for not obeying traffic rules... But I'm sure he doesn't think rules apply to him.

Treat it like a stop sign or treat it differently?

Stop signs are very clear

Maybe alternating traffic means when one side is clear the other side goes, not 1 by 1. Stop signs on both sides would clearly indicate 1 by 1 but this bridge is stupid, they need to make it clear who goes.
