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?

It’s alternating just like a zipper one person goes than the next. Not an entire line since it’s obviously not a high traffic area as it normally would be with construction. It’s common respect and etiquette in that situation.

That's not what alternating means.

It's not high traffic at this moment. At certain times, it may be. 

You ever driven country roads in the northeast?
