Two streets in Panama City’s San Francisco sector will change direction as authorities seek to improve vehicle and pedestrian movement.

Beginning Wednesday, Sept. 9, Street 71 will operate as a one-way road from Vía Israel to Avenida Nicanor Obarrio, also known as 50th Street. From Friday, Sept. 11, Street 70 will also become one-way, carrying traffic from Avenida Nicanor Obarrio toward Vía Israel.

The Traffic and Land Transportation Authority coordinated the changes with the National Police’s traffic operations directorate and the San Francisco Community Board. Authorities urged drivers to proceed carefully and watch for the new traffic signs installed in the area.

Traffic police and authority staff will remain deployed to direct motorists and other road users as the new arrangements take effect.
