Nothing. That's a great place to have car trouble, much better than having it on the road.

Blast down the shoulder at high speed trying to pass the slower traffic that resulted from the stopped car. Of course, this will result in there being two stopped cars, but what do you care? You passed all those suckers who were too stupid to use the shoulder.

Honk at them, loud and long, for some perceived wrongdoing that annoys you.

Adding to this: Then post a video of it online. And complain bitterly when people criticize you for honking at them.

The two existing approaches should remain in place but should simply be extended a bit further out over the water, and the road to either side should be realigned to provide a longer straightaway on approach so that drivers can build up the necessary speed to jump the gap in the style of Bo and Luke Duke.
