See I like this idea but I'm not sure how you'd go about organising it so that it'd still be a noticeable protest, i.e. so the small groups don't get lost in the crowds and ignored. I think you could cause a lot of disruption to the traffic, but that would only really annoy the road users.
It would only work for a large protest. Just give 20-30 venues and tell people to take their pick. The coppers would fucking hate it because they would have to spread themselves really thinly to cover everything
They would just end up kettling anyway, as many protest start out as lots of little things all over the city. The police coax the protesters on certain directions and it's almost impossible to avoid being moved unless you're having an actual sit-in. Eventually they've coaxed everyone into the same place.
