Is obstructing traffic a moving violation?

I just received a traffic ticket for obstructing traffic. I’ve never received such a ticket before, so I’m not sure what to expect. I’m sure I’ll have to pay a fine, but is this considered a moving violation that goes on my record?

Obstructing traffic is a moving violation because it occurred while you were driving and can put other motorists at risk. You’ll likely receive a fine and get
driver violation points
on your license, although the number of points and the dollar amount will probably be low because obstructing traffic is a minor traffic offense.
