Reason for man directing traffic on busy road with bag of frozen peas unknown

Police in Australia's Northern Territory were alerted by a concerned motorist on Monday afternoon.

A male was standing in the middle of a busy road in Darwin trying to direct peak-hour traffic using a bag of frozen peas.



The reason for this was not known. Police arrived to the reported location within nine minutes after the report. The man had since left the area and was not located.

There was no traffic hazard on the road to explain his bizarre actions. Police added that traffic direction is best left to trained personnel.
