Blocking a major highway during rush hour would be risky and dangerous. It is best to get legal advice from an experienced attorney before proceeding. There may be alternative protest strategies which can accomplish the same goal without causing injury or disruption to the public. Talking with local officials, holding a peaceful march or demonstration, reaching out to the media, establishing social media campaigns - these are all methods that could potentially demonstrate public dissatisfaction without taking unsafe and unnecessary risks.

First, make sure that any proposed blockade is legal in your area. In many areas it is illegal to block a highway during rush hour, as it can create an extreme danger for drivers. Secure the necessary permits if needed and alert local authorities of your intentions ahead of time. Then organize demonstrators in advance and give them clear instruction on how to peacefully block the highway during rush hour. Ensure that signage is provided well ahead of the protest giving details about why people are staging a blockade and what demands they are seeking to achieve. Dress comfortably and appropriately for weather conditions - you may need to be outside for several hours depending upon location- with plenty of food, water, warmth (if needed) and medical supplies; have an emergency plan in case something were to go wrong; be careful while blocking traffic so as not injure anyone or cause any accidents; remain nonviolent at all times while policing ensuring no one breaks laws; be ready with media contacts who may want to cover this news worthy event so that proper messages get communicated afterwards; create visual impact by having supporters dress colorfully while marching before blocks traffic or drive slowly if allowed on freeways behind banners which carry protest slogans
