Fucking up traffic to study it?

Really? This is not passing the smell test at all.

1. I have seen them do studies by conducting surveys

which does fuck up traffic, but have to admit this sounded like bs from day one.

4. Survey is one thing.

Squeezing three lanes into one is another. If the visual didn't answer their query the first day, why did they continue?

2. When they do a traffic study here in Plano

It usually involves running some cables over the street that count the number of cars any given minute/hour LOL

3. I thought they did traffic studies by counting the cars

that go by a certain point - usually with a cable the cars drive over that records each one. How do you do a traffic study by blocking traffic? Never heard of such a thing. It does have a bad odor.
