Legally, you need a permit to march on the roads. Past protests have marched on the roads, though. One 50501 protest even got carried away and tried to march on the highway, but then they were stopped by older protesters. My protests get carried away and we wander into the roads. Peacekeepers have to direct us back to the sidewalks.
I will say that my state’s 50501 protest always manages to clog up the road even though we don’t intentionally block it.
Most of the drivers are on our side. They will slow down to wave to us or take a video. People going back and forth keeps slowing down traffic. Cars will keep going back in the car line to honk again.
Would it be better to clog up the road completely? I don’t know. All I know is that it seems to be on purpose that people stay on the sidewalks.
