Reply to comment by Bax_Cadarn in when a limb gets amputated, how do they stop the flow of blood? by EnchantedCatto

But if you're driving down a freeway, and then encounter a road block 3 miles past the last exit, then what do you do? The cars will just accumulate there with no obvious way out of there. If you cut the artery at a location without any branches, there will be some blood there that will just sit in place, won't it?

Some will clot at the end, some will leave by freshly built microscopic roads, some will go up a bit and leave by the past few junctions afaik. For more details, ask a vascular surgeon ;-)
