CET-Rio conducts traffic operations for more than 100 street parties in the city.

The Rio de Janeiro Traffic Engineering Company (CET-Rio) has set up special traffic operations for the 106 street carnival groups accredited by Riotur, which will parade through various neighborhoods of the city on Saturday (February 7th) and Sunday (February 8th), in addition to the mega-groups that parade along the Preta Gil Circuit, on Avenida Presidente Antônio Carlos, in the city center. The operation aims to promote road safety for revelers and maintain traffic flow in the surrounding area, as well as guide drivers and pedestrians.

The plan was developed by each bloc and has the support of CET-Rio agents, the Municipal Guard, and outsourced traffic controllers. The teams will work directly at the roadblocks and access points to the roads that will be closed. Drivers should be aware that parking will be prohibited by signage.

Among the official street parties this weekend are Favorita and Cordão do Boitatá, on the Preta Gil Circuit in the city center; Simpatia É Quase Amor, in Ipanema; Suvaco de Cristo, in Jardim Botânico; Fogo e Paixão, in the city center; Gigantes da Lira, in Laranjeiras; Empolga às 9, in Ipanema; Céu na Terra, in Santa Teresa; and Blocão de Copacabana.

Road closures where parades take place are implemented and signposted up to two hours before the start of the gathering of revelers, depending on the specific characteristics of each neighborhood.

CET-Rio technicians, at the Operations and Resilience Center (COR-Rio), will monitor all traffic movement through cameras so that, if necessary, adjustments can be made to the traffic light schedule to ensure good road conditions.

Recommendations

CET-Rio advises the public to plan their travel in advance and prioritize the use of public transportation, such as the subway and train, since these modes of transport have high capacity and are not directly impacted by road closures. It is important to remember that everyone must respect traffic signs and follow the instructions of traffic officers.
