creates a serious risk to the health or safety of the public or a section of the public

I don’t know: it’s possible. If legal definitions & case law (which I don’t know enough about) don’t settle their meaning, then they could mean anything. A lawyer could clarify.

For sure. e.g. Block the road, you block emergency vehicles / assault on emergency workers = terrorism.

  Plain old traffic jams and collisions block emergency vehicles all the time. Doesn’t seem to be a problem during these very normal things that happen all the time … but protestors block a road and suddenly it’s a huge problem.
