Running over protesters on roadways could soon be legal in North Dakota

Plus – unless there is somewhere else a definition of “obstruction”, also doesn’t recognize that there are many legal, desirable reasons to obstruct traffic in a roadway:

• The good Samaritan blocking traffic because a child ran into the street
• The rancher driving cattle or sheep across a road
• The cop blocking a lane after an accident

IANAL, but this law appears to make it legal to kill any of these people as long as the state can’t prove intent.

There’s my problem with this, the need to prove intent. Outside of that issue, I find it difficult to want to punish people for hitting someone who put themself in danger intentionally.
