What's it called when a highway patrolman swerves from the inside lane to the outside lane to stop the entire freeway? I thought that maneuver had a name.

I think it's called the "Oh shit I hope I don't get hit, and if I manage not to, it's gonna look really cool" manuver

It's sometimes known as the "Stop the highway traffic" maneuver. Other than that, it doesn't really have a name, just a purpose.

Never heard of a name for that, or that move in general.

Busting a fast U-turn is "whip a bitch" on someone. Never understood the name for that one but it's common around here.

It's called the "stop the traffic and shut down the entire freeway and piss everybody off while we clear this wreck" maneuver.

I've heard it called the "Whathefuckareyoudoingyoustupidgoddamnedmotherfucker maneuver". I think they named it after the guy who invented it.

I call it the "I hope I make it through this alive maneuver". When I was on mids, I had to shut down IH-35 on my own more than once for major crashes.

Weird this came up.
I was in 2 this week on I17 North. One so they could clear some furniture that fell off a truck and never saw why on the 2nd one, maybe to slow traffic down. I drive quite a bit and see it every once in a great while.

I believe a rolling roadblock is when traffic on a road is slowed by police escort, but not stopped fully.
