Question
Hello,
A car is parked inside a traffic circle and is blocking all the traffic. Is it permitted to call the police?
Answer
Hello and blessings,
You should first see whether the driver is in the area; if he is not in the area, you may call the police.

Siman 389 se'if 4: “If he filled his fellow’s courtyard with barrels of wine and oil, he may enter and exit in his usual manner, and anything that breaks unintentionally he is exempt.” And apparently the same applies here, since his whole intention is to move away the car that is blocking without permission.
