In New York City the rule is "Don't block the box" and it carries stiff penalties.

I always found it funny how easy it would be to DDOS a roundabout. Get 10 friends together and drive around in a circle all day.

That actually happens: cyclists have found that to be a very effective and infuriating way of protest on several occasions. You can find lots of Youtube videos.

Couldn't you block any intersection pretty easily with 10 cars dedicated to doing so?

But then you would be clearly breaking the law, unlike someone just driving around and around
