“Own the Roads” is another Most Wanted mission where you must disable several militia checkpoints to clear the streets in Batman: Arkham Knight. It is similar to the “Occupy Gotham” side mission where you need to neutralize the militia watchtowers controlling the skies of Gotham City.
There are a total of 20 roadblocks that need to be destroyed. Expect each checkpoint to be heavily fortified with armored soldiers, sentry guns, and vehicles. Once the area is cleared, interact with the commander’s body and destroy his checkpoint controller.
Destroying the roadblocks is one of the best ways of farming Upgrade Points. You get one WayneTech Point for clearing out each checkpoint in the game, so we recommend completing Own the Roads as soon as you unlock the mission at the start of Chapter 7. The location maps below will tell you where to go.

3 Sentry Guns protect the checkpoint commander. Use the Remote Hacking Device to blind the one on the outer side and sneak up to the one on the other side to destroy it. lastly, destroy the one in the center. After destroying the last one, a Silent Takedown can be performed on the commander.
Checkpoint #2
Location: Chinatown, next to Perdition Bridge.
Coordinates: 1956, 2322
Start by eliminating the soldiers and a brute posted on the balconies next, use the Remote Hacking Device to turn the security access panel off.

Checkpoint #3
Location: Chinatown, next to Tattoo Parlor.

This checkpoint is located on the north of the Clock Tower in Batman: Arkham Knight. It is protected by 2 Sentry Guns along the north wall.
Inside the walls, you will come across 16 thugs including 2 Medics, 2 Brutes, 2 Combat Experts, and 2 armed thugs. You can grapple up to a tightrope directly above the sentry guns. Use the Remote Hacking Device to blind one of the Sentry Guns and take both of them out while remaining in cover.
Now head outside and use Fear Multi-Takedown before knocking down the rest of the enemies and finishing them off one by one – the Medics first and the Brutes last.
Checkpoint #4
Location: Southeast of the Perdition bridge leading to Founders’ Island.
