Ongoing roadworks in the capital are causing changes to daily commuting habits. Several routes are affected by closures or traffic restrictions, forcing road users to adjust their itineraries. Public transport is also impacted, with some bus stops being relocated. In Antanimena, Soarano, Mahamasina, and Analakely, restrictions will be applied at different times, with some expected to continue until October. These disruptions are likely to divert traffic to other routes and increase congestion, especially during peak hours.
For taxi-be (minibus) users, the changes go beyond just routes. Some regular stops have also been modified based on traffic management. Passengers are advised to stay alert for new stop locations on their lines, as these changes may lead to longer travel times. Motorists must contend with denser traffic on certain axes and routes that differ from their usual paths. Anticipating trips, leaving earlier, or choosing less frequented roads can help mitigate the inconvenience.
The Directorate of Transport and Urban Mobility (DTMU) urges users to respect the measures in place. Traffic signs must be obeyed, as well as the instructions of traffic officers. The DTMU also recommends using public transport and choosing alternative routes. To stay informed about traffic updates, users can follow information broadcast on 95.6 FM and on social media.
