This weekend, Aracaju is set to host several carnival block parades, which will necessitate temporary modifications to vehicle traffic in multiple neighborhoods. According to the Municipal Traffic and Transportation Superintendence (SMTT), the events will be held on Saturday, February 21, and Sunday, February 22, requiring specific traffic restrictions along the parade routes. On Saturday, the parades are primarily scheduled for the Bairro Getúlio Vargas, Atalaia, Novo Paraíso, and Bairro América, while Sunday events will focus on Orlando Dantas, Santa Maria, and 17 de Março.

The SMTT informs that the traffic interventions will be implemented gradually, following the movement of revelers along the streets. Drivers are encouraged to plan their travel in advance, utilize alternative routes, and pay attention to the temporary signage and instructions given by traffic agents. This initiative aims to facilitate a safer and more organized carnival experience for participants while minimizing disruptions for local motorists.

As carnival is a significant cultural event in Brazil, such measures are commonly taken to ensure that festivities can take place smoothly. The changes highlight the city's efforts to balance celebration and community traffic flow, underscoring the importance of local governance in managing public events effectively.
