I think a great way to think about possible roadblocks in your job is to stop, think about two possible solutions for it and then go to your manager to ask if either one would be a good solution and ask them to explain why. This accomplish two things: you communicate to your manager that you can invent solutions by yourself and you can validate your own solutions. At first, it might be that you fail pretty often but once you do this for a little time you'll notice that your solutions might actually get better than what your manager could have come up with.
