São Januário Stadium - Fabio Motta/City of Rio

The Rio de Janeiro Traffic Engineering Company (CET-Rio) will implement a traffic operation this Saturday (April 18th) for the game between Vasco and São Paulo, for the Brazilian Championship, which takes place at 6:30 pm at the São Januário stadium, in the Vasco da Gama neighborhood. Traffic restrictions will begin at 12:30 pm.

The plan will involve CET-Rio agents and traffic support personnel, operational vehicles, and motorcycles, all dedicated to traffic guidance. The operation will also include seven variable message signs providing information on closure times and alternative routes.

The operation aims to promote road safety, traffic flow, and the maintenance of clear intersections, as well as to guide drivers, pedestrians, and fans.

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 conditions.
