The disruption to vehicular traffic was not primarily due to the protesters, who chose to walk along the pedestrian path of the busy avenue. Instead, it was caused by a police officer accompanying the event in a police vehicle, moving at the same pace as the marchers, which led to the inevitable blockage of normal traffic.
