We've seen this twice recently in the SF Bay Area, major disruption to Bay Bridge and Golden Gate bridge traffic by protests related to the war in Gaza. In the first case, it's reported that delivery of some urgent medical supplies (organ transplant? I can't recall the detail) were harmfully delayed. It's so stupid, in that the chances of these protests changing anything on the other side of the world are about zero. Proposals are in process to increase the penalties. "From the blocking of the Bay Bridge during last year's APEC summit to Wednesday morning's shutdown of the Golden Gate Bridge, over the past several months the Bay Area has seen numerous protests that have blocked traffic and interrupted vital freeways. On Thursday, [a legislator] introduced a bill that would double penalties for protesters purposefully obstructing the flow of traffic in any way that would prevent emergency vehicles from passing." https://abc7news.com/protesters-blocking-freeways-new-ca-bill-protest-penalties-fines/14431146/ https://abc7news.com/protesters-blocking-freeways-new-ca-bil...
