Lima imposes vehicle restrictions Saturday due to planned march

The Metropolitan Municipality of Lima (MML) has announced a temporary vehicle restriction in the capital's historic center on Saturday, June 27. This measure, effective from midnight, is a response to anticipated mobilizations that could potentially disrupt public order and endanger cultural heritage. The municipality stated the restriction is necessary to safeguard the city's historical assets and ensure public safety.

The restriction will involve the closure of access routes and the establishment of control points within a perimeter defined by Tacna, Garcilaso de la Vega, 9 de Diciembre, and Miguel Grau avenues, as well as Paruro and Amazonas streets, and the area surrounding the Rímac River. The National Police of Peru (PNP) will be responsible for enforcing these directives.

Exemptions to the restriction include emergency vehicles such as ambulances, fire trucks, and PNP units on official duty. Additionally, vehicles belonging to residents and property owners within the restricted zone, those heading to authorized parking lots, and logistical vehicles for approved activities will be permitted. Mayor Renzo Reggiardo indicated the restriction would last 24 hours but remains under continuous evaluation based on PNP intelligence reports. The municipality urges drivers and residents to plan their travel in advance and heed police instructions.

The measure will be in place for 24 hours on Saturday, June 27.
