You can get the route parameter in an $locationChangeStart event listener like this:

$scope.$on('$locationChangeStart', function(event, next, current) {
    if(current_user.is_logged_in){
        var route_object = ($route.routes[$location.path()]).route_object; //This is how you get it
        if(!(route_object.route_roles)){
            event.preventDefault();
        }
    }
});

Then classic preventDefault method would do the work. Here's a plunker that I wrote for something similar.
