How did that work? Did he manually operate traffic lights or something?
He would frown at you if you swerved out of your lane.
I don't know, but a lot of east bloc had a quite high surveillance. There were often a zero tolerance for drinking, speeding... and they had people oversee main roads.
But as I said, no idea what that dude is supposed to do!
