LIMA 2019 AND NATIONAL POLICE OF PERU (PNP) LAUNCH ROAD PLAN FOR PAN AMERICAN AND PARAPAN AMERICAN GAMES
The Road Plan includes permanent and temporary segregated lanes, as well as preferential lanes.
The Lima 2019 Organizing Committee (COPAL) and the National Police of Peru announced that the Road Plan for the Pan American and Parapan American Games will start operating from July 19 to September 5, 2019.
The Road Plan, prepared by the PNP in coordination with COPAL, consists of segregating lanes to ensure the timely and safe transport of more than 15,000 athletes, Para athletes, judges, referees, accredited journalists, volunteers and Games official delegations.
The Lima 2019 Lane consists of permanent and temporary segregated lanes, as well as preferential lanes. It should be noted that if an unauthorized vehicle enters the Lima 2019 Lane, a fine of PEN 336 will be applied for breaching the National Transport Regulation (G10 and G16).
Lima 2019 Lanes
The permanent segregated lanes will be operational 24 hours a day to exclusively transport official vehicles of the Lima 2019 Games.
The permanent lanes will be:
From the Pan American Village to the National Sports Village (VIDENA):
-Av. El Sol
-Av. Mariano Pastor Sevilla
-Av. Mateo Pumacahua
-Panamericana Sur
-Av. Circunvalación
-Av. Canadá
From the Pan American Village to the Jorge Chavez International Airport:
-Av. El Sol
-Av. Mariano Pastor Sevilla
-Av. Mateo Pumacahua
-Panamericana Sur - Vía de Evitamiento
-Línea Amarilla
The roads that will be segregated are those that branch off from the permanent lane and will only operate temporarily, according to the competition schedule, four hours before and two hours after each sports event. The National Police of Peru will provide assistance throughout this process in order to speed up traffic flow.
Meanwhile, preferential lanes will enable official Lima 2019 vehicles, public and private transportation to circulate at the same time.
The Road Plan is being executed in coordination with the Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC), the Municipality of Callao (MPC), the Municipality of Lima (MML) and the National Police of Peru (PNP). It was made official through the Directorial Resolution No. 013–2019 MTC/18 and the Sub-directorial Resolution No. 6306–2019- MML/GTU–SIT, which authorize the Lima 2019 Pan American and Parapan American Games Organizing Committee (COPAL) to temporarily interfere with traffic during the multi-sports event.
In that sense, we must be good hosts and give priority to Lima 2019 official vehicles that transport athletes and the international committees. “Let’s all play” for Lima 2019.
