    You are right, I don’t want to sit in a completely unnecessary traffic jam. The roads are for travel. Travel is a human right,

    Then get out of your car, and travel. Nobody is stopping you. Except the fascist government, who will ticket you.

      The right is to travel. That right is not limited to “walking”. The human right to travel is not restricted to those places a human can reach on foot. Further, your assumption that a particular individual is even capable of walking violates two additional human rights relating to the handicapped.

      Go read each of the articles of the UN Declaration of Human Rights and carefully consider whether being detained by some random “protester” while attempting to exercise the described rights would constitute an infringement.

      I think you would be surprised at how many rights are predicated on the right to travel.

          The right to travel extends to the point that it interferes with other people’s rights. Roadways must be shared equitably.

          The rules of that equitable sharing are known as the “right of way”. Nothing in those rules allows protesters to claim exclusive use of a roadway.
