How is a roadblock by off duty police officers voluntary?

When a yellow or orange vested highway worker blocks traffic, is it voluntary? Does an off duty policeman have more authority than a highway flagman?

Highway flagmen have an obvious and transparent reason to block traffic. This is far from transparent. Since when do we in the US use roadblocks to conduct surveys? And since when do surveys involve gving a blood or saliva sample? I don’t care if they will allow you decline - this time. Nobody should be stopped at all for this sort of thing. They are trying this in AL because they would never get away with it in San Francisco or New York. It is very disturbing that this is going on, especially in light of the IRS and NSA scandals.
