I don’t know enacted legislation for the jurisdiction, but...

There is a fundamental principle called “doctrine of competing harms” to wit:
If obeying a law causes greater harm than disobeying it, then you may disobey it.

Example: if someone needs immediate hospitalization to prevent grave harm, and someone is blocking traffic for no similarly good reason, you may drive thru them to reach the hospital in time.

You just d@mn well better have good verifiable objective reason when you do.

I would imagine in todays climate you would be prosecuted for murder if you did harm someone by driving through - even if you were carrying a child to the hospital - thanks for the info
