9. The highway is most likely the issue

I think if a group wants to protest on a major highway where cars are going 90 miles an hour, they do in some cases. The group should get a permit and the section of highway should be closed during the protest times. Or if a protest is going to occurs, the police should block the highway at the exit before the protest and have traffic do a detour around the protest. Either scenario would protect the protester rights and take the driver’s out of this scenario. A win-win for everybody.
