キンシャサの通勤路に一方通行、交差点では警察が案内

A one-way morning on a Kinshasa commuter route

A one-way arrangement began on part of Kinshasa’s Mondjiba Avenue on September 21, Radio Okapi reports. Drivers were diverted through another street, metal barrels marked the layout, and police directed vehicles, including public transport, to stopping points.

An earlier announcement had prohibited parking along the avenue and near schools. The new traffic direction therefore intersects with the everyday problem of school drop-offs. Reporters observed relatively smooth traffic on the monitored section that morning, but vehicles still stopped near schools; this was not evidence of a citywide end to congestion.
