On a 1990's trip from the US to England, we had occasion to witness a similar situation, but with an automated scheme for controlling the traffic flow so groups of vehicles could use the single available lane in turn. Instead of two humans with radios and Stop/Slow-Go signs at each end of the controlled passage, they set up red/green traffic lights on a timer.
