They had closed off traffic before I arrived (within 5 minutes of it passing by... was watching on web-cam to time things right). Police had blocked traffic from the side street, and had even stopped the cars wanting to turn across the intersection (to go onto the side street) too. The roadway for west-bound York Mills (a very minor artery) was completely secured for the convoy... lots of police around.

There are many, many, many alternatives to York Mills Road though (with alternate exits from the blocked sub-divisions). Later on when the convoy went down Yonge Street during rush-hour... THAT would have been real disruption.
