At least it will slow them down. They road to shooting
themselves in the foot will dead-end, and they'll be forced to turn
left or right before they can continue towards that goal. Put a big
enough roadblock there, and most of those idiots will probably manage
to avoid shooting themselves in the foot.
Not all, of course. But most.
