Thanks,
@DB! If it isn't clear from the several articles across the several posts, US 101 is a freeway, the only freeway through the city. So it gets significant use by commuters. The choice to move the "protest" onto to the freeway around 5:15-5:30 PM was not just dangerous, it was done to foul up the commute. BTW, Mitchell Park, in which the "protest" was supposed to be, is about a mile from where the "protesters" entered US 101.
