Protesters have maintained a presence along the road for eight days, with those gathered there on Monday saying they were prepared to stay.
“I knew in my heart there would be no decision today,” said Aileen Murray Marshall.
“I’m here for my grandchildren. Parents, fathers and grannies don’t want this. It’s like point scoring.”
Marie-Therese Murray, who was outside the Court of Appeal earlier, said she just wanted everything to go back to normal.
Her 12-year-old son died after being struck by a car on the Garvaghy Road at the height of the dispute in the 1990s.
“It’s my son’s anniversary next Saturday, 30 years,” she said.
“I just want it all to stop, for both Catholic and Protestant children. I don’t want to see 1996 back all over again. Please stop”.
