It helps give agents more time to respond by slowing down those crossing. However, in more open areas where response times are measured in hours, sometimes days, they don't have much effect.

Simple idea for simple people who don't want to actually study and look at the problem and solutions but just get elected.

That's why things the "New Green Deal" get shafted by the right...it involves time and dedication and thought.  So they demand a vote to see who is for the "crazy ideas" before any of that is started.  Want an answer from the right on a big issue?  Make it as simple as possible so no one has to work too hard at it and something that is old and comfortable so voters don't start thinking about "changing" things.

"Change" might mean (gasp) spending money! On things that don't get votes like "strong military" and, uh...well, I'm sure there are other things.
