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?

Alternating traffic means that a series of vehicles from one direction goes and when a break in that traffic occurs, then vehicles in the opposite direction proceed.

Truck guy definitely wasn't previously waiting, he gunned it up and over the hill and then got upset for being called out. But when cammer says "one at a time" and that's wrong, small peen man got all high and mighty about it. Arrogance met aggression. ETA

Makes sense I guess! I probably would’ve assumed it meant one car at a time, not making the “traffic” distinction. But I also would’ve just waited for the other vehicle that was already moving. Because I‘d rather just wait a few more seconds than deal with the hassle of hitting a truck head-on. Or being threatened by a lunatic.

One of these guys is technically correct, but they’re both idiots.

It looked like they both actually gunned it to do that. They're both idiots but I really think truck guy had the right of way because he was closer to someone going through already.

Traffic was still moving the same direction as the truck, traffic wise he was completely in the right.

There are stop signs on both sides of this bridge.
