On Thursday, August 27, Bogotá will hold its Night Ciclovía, closing over 94 kilometers of roads in the city. Authorities will begin operations at 3:30 p.m. to facilitate the event and suggest participants check their bicycles, wear helmets, and bring lights and reflective gear to ensure their safety while traveling.

Simultaneously, the city will implement the vehicle restriction program known as Pico y Placa, which is applied from Monday to Friday. This program is designed to regulate traffic and prevent congestion on major roads.

The closures for the Night Ciclovía and the Pico y Placa restrictions coincide, which could affect traffic flow in various areas of Bogotá.

Citizens planning to use their vehicles should pay attention to the restrictions to avoid fines. Authorities urge compliance with relevant traffic regulations during these activities.

Finally, alternate routes are recommended for those needing to travel in the city who are not participating in the Ciclovía. Drivers and cyclists are urged to plan their trips accordingly.
