I mean, it's a pretty good illustration of a deadlock. Most traffic intersections, especially 4-way stops are basically mutexes anyway.

Jamming a circle though... that's like deadlocking a ring buffer message queue with threaded consumers. Or something. It's just a spectacular way to break stuff any way you slice it.
