The Traffic Division of the Royal Grenada Police Force (RGPF) has issued an official public advisory outlining adjusted traffic rules for the upcoming Spicemas Carnival Build-up Road Show, a key pre-carnival event scheduled to take place on Port Highway in St George’s on Saturday, 16 May 2026. The temporary restrictions will run from 5:00 p.m. local time through to midnight, impacting all motorists traveling through the central St George’s area during the event window.
To accommodate the large-scale public event and ensure attendee safety, the RGPF has implemented adjusted through-traffic rules for Port Highway. For vehicles heading toward Grand Anse along Port Highway, travel will only be permitted up to the Port entrance, which also marks the entry point to Angel Harps Pan Yard, with no access beyond this point for the duration of the restrictions. Motorists traveling in the opposite direction toward downtown St George’s will only be allowed to travel as far as the Grenada Yacht Club entrance, with no through passage past this checkpoint.
Parking arrangements have also been restructured to support event operations. Designated parking for event performers, official sponsors, and Spicemas organizing staff has been allocated at the Old Trafford lot. For general attendees and members of the public driving to the event, public parking spaces will be available along The Carenage.
A temporary no-parking zone will be enforced along Tanteen public road for the full stretch between Burns Point and the Sir Eric Matthew Gairy Roundabout. For the entire duration of the event restrictions, no vehicles will be permitted to park on either side of this road segment, and any unauthorized parked vehicles may be subject to enforcement action.
The RGPF has called on all road users, local residents, and event attendees to familiarize themselves with the new traffic arrangements ahead of the event and cooperate with on-site law enforcement personnel to ensure the event runs smoothly and safely. The advisory was formally released via the Office of the Commissioner of Police in Grenada.
