I am aware of a situation where a slowtation was forced to land on an 
interstate highway. They were able to contact the highway patrol, who had a car 
nearby, and the road was blocked for the landing and takeoff.

I was wondering just that. Would the pilot have to hire a couple of flag 
people to close down the roadway for the length, duration and timing of 
the take off ?
