Del Penhall writes about road blocks... "Besides disrupting traffic in general, another purpose of road blocks (it was said) was to force vehicles onto a limited number of roads which they would "zero in" with their artillery. Other road blocks we met consisted of deep and wide ditches and other entanglements."
