Roadblock

A roadblock refers to an obstacle or barrier that temporarily prevents progress or access, either physically or metaphorically. In a physical context, it can be a barrier such as a construction fence or police checkpoint blocking a road. In a broader sense, it can also describe issues or challenges that hinder the completion of a task, project, or goal. Roadblocks require identification and resolution strategies to continue moving forward, making them common in project management, problem-solving, and everyday situations where progress is impeded.
