well thats true, too it means that but if you headlights are on and high beams off. or if its day light out. it means theres a speed trap tho some people just do it if theres cops period.

Is it true that they can get you for obstruction when you do that?

they can try, wont stand in court if you fight it, you're simply warning people to slow down, providing a public service
I had a roomie that stood on the side of the road flagging people down to warn them of a roadblock, pissed the cops off pretty bad when no one was passing through for a couple hours in an otherwise busy neighborhood, at that point the cops broke it up and went speeding through to find whomever it was, he jumped out and flagged them down to tell them to slow it the fuck down

I've seen it done down here in Florida, it seems like the nice thing to do sometimes
