Rahul Dhesi seems to agree: I've recently been informed by Mr. Dhesi 
that LLBs are no different from any other obstruction in the road.  
But unlike official obstructions (like marker cones and construction 
barriers) the gov't didn't put the LLB in the road.  

IOW, the LLB is just another random obstacle like fallen cargo or 
roadkill.  So, if we notice an LLB creating a traffic hazard, I 
suppose we should feel free to *remove* the LLB from the road.  I 
tell ya, I learn something new here every day...
