I'm far from a constitutional expert, being foreign and all, but I'm pretty sure civil disobedience is not a right supported by law at all, and in fact is by definition a breach of the law. The recent issue on the mainland with leased public land and an armed stand off resulting in a shootout, death and imprisonment should stand as an example of civil disobedience resulting in a bad end. Not to say that civil disobedience is inherently wrong, just not a 'right'. Ghandi served jail time for his civil disobedience, despite being non-violent. Protestors were shot at Kent State for civil disobedience in 1970.
Blocking a road without permission is against the law. Authorities may enforce that law or attempt to negotiate a settlement.
