The Prefeitura de Ponta Grossa, through the Municipal Secretariat of Citizenship and Public Security, alerts the population to changes in traffic and road blocking in the city center due to the September 7 celebrations. The measure aims to ensure the safety of the participants and the public during the civic-military parade. The blockages will occur on Monday, September 7, and the guidance is for drivers to redouble their attention and look for alternative routes.

Blocked lanes for the parade

On Monday, September 7, the roads used for the parade and its intersections will be completely blocked. According to the City Council, the bans cover Balduino Taques Street, between Almeida Hairstyle and avenida Vicente Machado, and Avenida Vicente Machado, between the Viscount of Nacar and Ermelino de Leão. These roads are central and usually have a large flow of vehicles, so it is important to plan the route in advance.

The blockades begin before the start of the parade and remain until the dispersion of the public. The City Council did not specify the exact time of the bans, but it stresses that the total release of traffic is expected to occur at noon (12:00) on Monday, shortly after the dispersion of the public. During this period, traffic agents will be on site to guide drivers.

Guidance for drivers

The guidance is for drivers to look for alternative routes during the interdiction period and redouble their attention to the signalling and guidance of traffic agents. The City Council recommends avoiding driving around the city center at parade time, if possible, to reduce congestion. Those who need to pass through the region must respect the deviations and the temporary signage.

In addition, pedestrians should also be aware of the blockage areas and follow the instructions of the security teams. The September 7 parade is a traditional event that attracts many families, and the collaboration of all is essential for everything to happen with tranquility. The Ministry of Citizenship and Public Security did not inform whether there will be changes in public transport, but it is likely that some lines will suffer deviations.

Impact on the city centre

The blockade of central roads could affect trade and access to services in the region. Shopkeepers and workers at the center should schedule to arrive early or use alternative routes. The City Council has not detailed whether there will be special permission for loading and unloading, but the general guidance is to avoid the area during the interdiction period.

Residents of blocked streets will also need to adapt, as vehicle access may be restricted. The recommendation is to leave the cars in permitted places before the start of the blockades or use alternative transport. Release at noon should relieve traffic gradually, but full normalization may take some time.

Next steps and recommendations

For those who want to attend the parade, the tip is to arrive early and use public transport or go on foot, if possible. The event is an opportunity to safely celebrate the civic date, but it requires patience with traffic. The Prefeitura de Ponta Grossa reinforces that the changes are temporary and necessary for the realization of the parade.

Drivers who need to drive through the central region should be aware of the signs and the directions of the agents. In case of doubt, the population can seek information on the official channels of the City Hall. The Boca no Trombone Portal will continue to follow updates on traffic and other issues of community interest.
