It’s to provide security to people who are high-value targets. There are often multiple decoy cars, so that potential attackers don’t know which car their target is in, as well as cars carrying security people, communications, medical staff, whatever is deemed necessary to protect the “package”. Roads get closed because there has to be an quick exit path.
Motorcade practices have advanced since 1963. Kennedy’s assassination happened the last time a US president rode in an open top car, because of his assassination.
That is fine so long as nobody knows it is the president. As soon as someone can figure out that it is the president someone deranged will shoot. As such we should provide extra security. Where you can’t hide that fact that it is the president you need to so something else.
I never quite understood the necessities of motorcades… Let our leaders sit with us in jams

I don’t reckon any of those are really necessary, I also don’t think that aside from the greasy monkey anyone else is gonna be shot at
Archduke Franz Ferdinand has entered the chat
I think the open carriage was more of a risk factor, Kenedy had motorcade!
