They’ll do that if there is an object in the middle of the road that needs to be removed. The cop will stop traffic, remove/move the object to the shoulder and then carry on. Also seen police slow/stop traffic in this manor when construction crews are setting up/closing lanes. I wouldn’t call this “crazy” have seen it a few times.

This is definitely part of the problem. WH resident. Speed limit on my street is 25mph (I’m in a school zone, rest of the street is 30mph) but road is designed for cars to go 40-45mph I’d say. A decent number of cars obey speed limit near my house because of all the school zone signage, but also see plenty of cars in that 40-45mph range on a daily basis. Have also seen cars go by doing 70-80mph on occasion.
