What is prohibited under Section 6 of the Summary Offences Act 1988?

Section 6 of the Summary Offences Act 1988 addresses the issue of obstructing traffic. This section makes it clear that individuals are prohibited from impeding the flow of traffic on roads, which includes any activities that would create an obstruction or hinder vehicles from moving freely. The purpose of this provision is to enhance public safety and ensure that the road infrastructure functions effectively, preventing potential accidents or congestion caused by such obstructions.

Obstructing public transport, emergency services, or pedestrians, while they may also be offenses under different legislation or sections, are not specifically covered by Section 6 of the Summary Offences Act 1988. Each of these actions could potentially lead to other legal consequences but do not fall under the same prohibitory clause as obstructing traffic. Thus, the focus of Section 6 is explicitly on traffic, making this the correct answer.
