The long weekend started with Intense traffic to the Atlantic coastRecording a large flow of vehicles on the main access roads. Thousands of drivers They began leaving the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area (AMBA) early in the day Heading to tourist destinations, which generates delays in the Atlantic Corridor.
This exodus represents the beginning of what is beginning to emerge as an important tourist migration. The continuous flow of cars heading to the beaches has become noticeable, especially at vital points on Highway No. 2.
Trading data confirmed the magnitude of the phenomenon: “More than two thousand vehicles per hour are registered at the Samburombon toll.”according to relevant sources. This figure reveals a high flow, although the flow is expected to reach its highest levels as the hours pass, especially in the middle of the day.
Despite the high traffic, the situation on the roads did not reach the extreme peak seen on other long weekends, where heavy traffic was observed.
In parallel, tourism sector operators expressed optimism about the movement, albeit with caution in their expectations. “Tour operators showed high attendance expectations, although lower than last November’s holiday.”was recorded on the sector perspective. Restriction measures on heavy traffic have been implemented by Buenos Aires highways to try to ease traffic and improve road safety, a frequent strategy on mass traffic schedules to avoid interference of large vehicles with private cars. Delays are expected to continue and increase as the day progresses.
