Avenida Poblado in El Poblado, Medellín was closed for a while today for President Santos. As the presidential motorcade reached the Dann Carlton hotel, in the south of the city, temporary closures on Avenida El Poblado between lanes 1 and 9 were performed. Traffic disruptions began minutes before 11:00 a.m. and generated traffic congestion in the surrounding areas, including the park of El Poblado and Oviedo Mall. Reports of citizens indicate that the closures lasted half an hour, so the traffic jam in extended for several blocks. See: www.elcolombiano.com/antioquia/movilidad/cierre-de-la-avenida-el-poblado-por-visita-del-presidente-santos-BY4742939I was nearby and had to walk quite a ways to find a taxi. The roads were an absolute parking lot.

Sounds like typical traffic at rush hour.
