douchebag roadblock 

(n) When all the lanes of a given road, particularly an expressway/highway/freeway, are occupied with drivers who are driving too slow, typically slower than the speed limit.
Goddammit! I'm going to be late for work because of this douchebag roadblock!

alabama roadblock 

Vehicles traveling side by side, purposely going under the speed limit, preventing other drivers from passing in any way. It's totally maddening, unless you're one of the drivers- then it's hilarious.
I'm stuck on 95 behind three idiots making an Alabama roadblock across all the lanes and I can't get around them!

Puerto Rican Roadblock 

When 2 or more vehicles (normally trucks) lineup side by side on a highway and slow down traffic behind them while also making themselves unpassable.
Look at those 2 f******' semi's up there. We're goin' nowhere it's a Puerto Rican Roadblock!

Polish Roadblock 

Similar in technique to the Jewish Roadblock in that two or more cars drive below the speed limit across all lanes, blocking all faster traffic from passing.

The distinction between the two is that while the Jewish Roadblock is done on purpose and with every intent of slowing down every body else on the road, the Polish Roadblock is done on accident and without the blockers knowledge.

A good indication of which one you're experiencing is the reaction you get when you flash your high beams at one of the offenders. If after repeated flashings, the offender does not move over, then it is most likely a Jewish Roadblock.
GOD FUCKING DAMNIT! These mother fuckers are Jewish Roadblocking me doing 10 under!

<flashes highbeams>
<one car moves>

<offending driver does the "My Bad" wave>

Okay, I'm not as pissed now, it was only a Polish Roadblock.

Asshole Roadblock 

When you're driving on a two or more lane road and the cars in front of you are going the exact or close to exact same speed, causing a very annoying vehicular roadblock.
(on the phone) "I'll be there soon, i'm just waiting for this damn asshole roadblock to clear up!"

roadblockhead 

Someone who refuses to keep up with the traffic flow or move to the right.
I was late for work because I got stuck behind a real roadblockhead.
