If someone intends to block traffic on a road using a road block, and puts the block mostly on the pavement next to the road, the block is there but it's not blocking any cars.

An ineffective block does not block what it's supposed to, it's still a block, it's just not blocking anything.

We might be getting into philosophy here though
