You are not impeding anyone so long as there's room for them to get by. Our robot's take up only 3' of the available 13', so unless there's a serious mess down below the overpass, it's exceptionally unlikely that you'll genuinely be impeding anyone from getting by. If you bump into me and the field around me is wide open, don't expect me to move anywhere.

You still get an impeding penalty because you are slower than they are and moving to block them. And you may still get high contact penalties.
