You describe protests as is they were an election campaign, with a well defined resolution mechanic and oriented to the public. they are not

the target audience of a protest is the people in power, they build on public opinion and wield it as a show against those in power.

also this can happen in many way, it could be a parent chaining themselves in front of town hall or an orderly march.

also a blockade does not sound like civil disobedience, in the face of these restriction civil disobedience would be not following the restrictions and opening anyway. (in civil disobedience you generally break only the laws you are protesting against)
