An idea I've been trying to push is to create gridlock / blockade / "embargo" cities or areas of cities by just driving slow... If 20 people strategically just drove 34 mph on the interstates, bridges, tunnels, beltways and bypasses, (better if you can get a compatriot to sit in the other lane doing the same) it'd grind traffic to a halt. It's a low effort / high effect form of protest.
Thats called a slow roll. Its been done. It doesn't have much effect really. Traffic jams happen all the time so it's not really memorable and state troopers will respond to solve the problem.
Thanks - hadn't heard of the term. What if coordinated groups did it every 1/4 mile on a stretch - maybe 10 or 20 cars to make it appear more organic? The point isn't to haul around flags and banners but just grinding shit to a halt for MONTHS in cities? Maybe get people to move out so they lose districting?

I dont want to just shit on your plan with a wall of text so all I'm going to say is its not a good idea.
