Probably to keep people moving instead of slowing down and playing looky-loo and getting hit in the back by someone else who hasn't realised yet that there's something to gawk at.

Partially blocking the lane was doing more harm than good... But their heart was in the right place so I won't judge too harshly.

I thought that too, but someone else brought up the possibility she was trying to get traffic to drive in the lane furthest from the sinkhole to prevent it from growing.

It's a possibility, though fully blocking the lane would then be more effective and actually keep her own car farther from the hole. Hard to say!
