I believe the vehicles that are allowed beyond the barrier have transponders that signal the posts to retract. Don't the drivers following the buses realize they're at a dead end?

... http://www.glumbert.com/media/roadblock A couple of things to watch for in this video: The silver car that backs away from the barrier posts is the first car that gets slammed by them! Same driver, same white thing on the dash. After he backs away, notice the steam/smoke coming from the front end of the car. The mini-van/suv that is the second to get slammed by the posts - the driver is holding his head - looks like he wasn't wearing seat belts and his head hit the roof of the car.... also his airbag deploys! Third vehicle slammed by the posts (I think this is at a different intersection - looks different anyway), the passenger (on the left of the vehicle) smashes into the windshield!!! Hard enough to crack it!
