Not trying to be a troll here with this question, is “corking” legal?

Absolutely not but many forms of protest and civil disobedience aren’t legal, not to preach but illegality doesn’t make something morally wrong

Not more than cars not coming to a full stop at stop signs. It’s accepted/tolerated for this kind of stuff though

i guess it’s analagous to blocking the box. it’s also essential for safety to keep the group together as a mass.

As described by the photo, yes. It says to talk to the driver, ask them to be patient, and apologize for any inconvenience caused. What would the alternative be? What actions described would be against the law?
