      Pedestrians do, indeed, have the right of way. “Right of way” meaning they are traveling.

      To have the right of way, you have to be traveling. If you are not traveling, you can have no right of way. If you are not traveling on a thoroughfare, you are obstructing traffic for those who are traveling.

      Protesters obstructing traffic do not have the right of way. They are criminals, and it is a good thing that they like jail.

          That’s not what “right of way” means. They do not have the right of way. They are violating the right of way.

          They can be arrested, charged, and convicted for obstructing traffic. Their act of violating the right of way can also constitute unlawful detention, and the detained can use force to escape or arrest their captor.

              No, sorry, it is not. “Right of way” means they are legally permitted to be there. If they had the right of way, it would not be lawful to remove them.

              They do not have the right of way. It may not be completely legal in all cases to run their asses over, but they do not have the right of way. The travelers they are obstructing have the right of way. Travelers have the right to use the road, but non-travelers are illegally infringing on that right.
