This new decision is due to the return of face-to-face classes and the increased flow of authorized vehicles, bringing traffic to over 93% and registering the highest levels of congestion since the pandemic began. According to the Ministry of Transport and Public Works of Buenos Aires, since March 2020 congestion levels had never reached such high peaks in a sustained manner.
“A few weeks ago the circulation exceeded 93%, while compared to a week prepandemia, in June 2021, there were 31% more delays and 80% more in the extension of vehicular queues in the accesses and internal avenues”
Below we remind you of the laws that come into effect
In the avenues with double direction of circulation, unless the signage indicates otherwise, it will be forbidden to park next to both sidewalks on working days from 7 to 21.
In the avenues with a single direction of traffic, it will not be possible to park next to the left sidewalk on weekdays from 7 to 21 and it will be allowed to park next to the right sidewalk every day during the 24 hours.
In some avenues it will be forbidden to park next to both sidewalks every day during the 24 hours.
With regard to streets with a single direction of traffic, it will be forbidden to park next to the left sidewalk every day during the 24 hours, while parking will be allowed next to the right sidewalk every day during the 24 hours.
In the streets with two directions of circulation you can park next to both sidewalks every day for 24 hours.
In addition, metered parking in the tariffed areas will be reactivated.
In ramps, ochavas, garages, bus stops, reserved spaces, bicycle paths, sidewalks and pedestrian paths will be prohibited to park during the 24 hours.
In the center and in the pedestrian courts area there is no restriction to circulate, but you can not park.
The Buenos Aires Government maintained that the usual parking rules are necessary “to order the streets that have a limit in their capacity to use to guarantee circulation and road safety.”
