Obstructions refer to physical or metaphorical barriers that prevent or delay progress, movement, or actions. They can be tangible objects in paths, such as fallen trees or construction barriers, or intangible factors, like bureaucratic red tape or conflict. These impediments can occur naturally or be man-made, and addressing them often requires careful planning and effort to remove or navigate around them. For example, traffic obstructions may involve roadblocks, accident sites, or closed lanes, and overcoming these requires coordination with relevant authorities and the deployment of resources to ensure smooth passage and minimal delay.
