I have to share with travelers. I have no problem sharing with other people traveling on the road, even when the act of traveling introduces delays.
Protesters also have to share the road. They are not allowed to obstruct the road in the course of their protest. Obstructing the road is a criminal act specifically because the roads must be shared and "obstruction" is not sharing.

See, I can be obnoxious to prove a point too.
It doesn't matter if protesters are hanging out in the middle of the road. You have to put up with them regardless. And honestly, the situation is too serious for your inconvenience to be taken into account. Fix the planet, then we'll talk.
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.
They have the right of way regardless of whatever they're doing on the road. You don't get to run them over like you're in a Newgrounds game no matter how much you want to.
That means even when protesters are sitting on the road, you have to put up with it. Turn around. Find another route. Park and find another route.
Deal with it.
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.
Yes it is what right of way means. You can't just run over pedestrians on the street no matter how much they inconvenience you. You especially can't run over protesters.
Get over their presence and get a life that doesn't revolve around your 9 to 5, or you in general.
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.
Yes, actually, it is, and you have to deal with them whether you want to or not. You can't justify your hatred and bloodlust against protesters with the law; the law sides with them.
So yes, protesters on the street have the right of way. That's the price you pay to live in a country that claims to be free. Don't like it, move to Russia with your topsie Putin.
