He ensured that the blocking and inspection of vehicles were carried out for 24 hours, in order to prevent crowds from forming during the 2002 Christmas and New Year holidays, especially in tourist spots.

"The inspection includes the completeness of the health procedures, such as the use of masks, odd-even vehicles according to the date, to a vaccination letter or an application for protection," he said.

Harun said that from the meeting several traffic engineering scenarios were agreed, such as the odd-even system, counter-flow or counter-flow, to opening and closing lanes.

"The initial odd-even filter is on the toll roads. We'll see if the road is crowded or what, later we will use direct engineering. It can be a diversion, it can also be in accordance with capacity and others. It's not a closure but a flow diversion," Harun said.
