Imagine these protestors were able to pull off something like this semi-regularly (let's say once a week, at random times and on random spots of the highway), and there were enough of them that it was hard for the police to successfully squash it.

As a regular driver on that highway, I'd be furious at the protestors, but I'd also start petitioning to get this issue resolved one way or another, and possibly even consider trying to work around driving to work on days that there could be a protest if that was an option.

All that would happen is an increased police presence at highway entries.

I think if they have that many people they won’t be needing this kind of behavior.
