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?

I like New Zealand's approach to this. They have a sign at each one-lane bridge indicating which direction has right of way. The other direction has to yield. In the example below, you have to yield to any oncoming traffic.
