In California they have something like this. Instead of barriers, it moves homeless encampments from one side of the street to the other, so that they can decontaminate alternate sides of the street regularly. Works pretty good.

"Tidal lane" was first used in Zhejiang Province to ease the traffic in city center of Hangzhou. There're lanes that allows different traffic flow in certain amount of time (i.e westbound in morning, eastbound in afternoon; straight in rush hour, left turn in offpeak; etc). In some more "primitive" provinces like Shandong and Hubei, people are still new to this concept and those barriers and the truck are needed when the tidal lane reverses the traffic direction completely. better than the proposed smart motorway in the UK
