Strange rock formations blocking streets

For a while I’ve been seeing townies circling in place — they it randomly in several different lots, I’ve attached a video of one woman going round and round in Windenburg while my Sim takes a Mindfull Walk. (Playing on PlayStation 5, mod free guaranteed.)

I’ve seen such behavior in Henford on Bagley and Tartosa too, that I can recall. Never saw one of my Sims doing it, though. 

[Edit: oh!, forgot to mention the woman in the video ended up breaking free to go to the bathroom — I suppose her motive overrode the circling route.]
