• Strange signal interference is causing pokeballs to malfunction up ahead (multiple potential consequences or reasons why this could suffice as a roadblock)
• A massive shipment went offroad up ahead causing a huge spillage of max repels, your pokemon are refusing to go forward

• no visible roadblock but you hear a voice echo GO BACK, better do what it says (it's later hinted but never explicitly stated to be the Professor)
