How much disruption to traffic did that cause? It looks like the street was closed to traffic in at least one direction for a while, but at least the torch is a single moving object, and when it's passed, they can open up again.
My parents live in a small village in England, and one year they had a stage of the Tour de France (really!) go through. They tell me the main road through was closed for the whole day, and nobody could go anywhere.
