Roadblocks

Roadblocks are structures set up by the Eden’s Shores Police Department and are deployed in hopes of slowing the player down. There are no cops in these blocks, and are only seen in the blocks in a cutscene in the first part of the game, but do appear in pursuits nevertheless.

The player can ram through these as they are easy to avoid but will slow down their speed as they will be ramming through traffic cones and barriers which is what they’re made out of. They will spawn very little and are rare to find in areas, and sometimes they'll even respawn in the same spots. They are not even close to a threat in the game at all, besides the slowing down factor, and the fact that you can get caught in the barriers which aren't breakable and the only part of the structure that's solid.

Trivia

 * They are the same files as the roadblocks from 2015, and from the files from Payback as an unused feature.
 * They sometimes appear to be in the same spots sometimes.
