Change takes effect Tuesday to increase safety in downtown
The road in downtown Foz do Iguaçu, between Castelo Branco Street and Brazil Avenue, will operate in a single direction starting Tuesday (23). The measure aims to reduce accidents and improve vehicle flow in the area.
Traffic on Rui Barbosa Street will be allowed only from the direction of Castelo Branco Street toward Brazil Avenue. Implementation will occur on Tuesday (23), becoming effective on Wednesday (24), and will include guiding signage for drivers.
The decision came from technical analyses by Foztrans, the municipal traffic agency. Studies identified a significant volume of incidents at the location, particularly at the intersection with Castelo Branco Street, indicating the need to reorganize traffic flow.
According to Luiz Borella, traffic director, the shift to one-way reduces conflict points between vehicles, improves visibility at turns, and makes movements more predictable. The expectation is to lower the number of traffic accidents on the stretch.
Foztrans recommends that drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians closely observe the new signage and obey traffic rules to ensure the safety of all road users.
