Will there be traffic enforcers to manage the heavy traffic caused by closing out a large portion of the regular thoroughfare? What routes will the jeeps take so as to not interfere with your activity? I would appreciate that as early as now, there are provisions on this kind of situation, aside from just plotting where the march is going to be. I hope that there will be signs pointing to other alternate routes that others can pass through to avoid traffic. Thanks.
