Grenada’s law enforcement agency has announced a series of temporary traffic regulations that will reshape travel patterns around St Paul’s, St George, to accommodate an upcoming political rally organized by the National Democratic Congress (NDC). Scheduled to take place on Sunday, 27 September 2026, the public event will prompt sweeping changes to normal road usage that will last more than eight hours, starting as early as 4 p.m. and remaining in place through midnight.
The Royal Grenada Police Force (RGPF), which issued the official advisory targeting all motorists traveling through the area, outlined clear, zone-specific rules to streamline crowd movement and prevent transit gridlock during the rally. One of the most impactful changes is a partial closure of St Paul’s Main Road: all vehicles heading north toward the St Paul’s Police Station, starting from the road’s junction with Mardigras public road (also called Greens), will be blocked from accessing that stretch of pavement.
For affected drivers, the RGPF has established official diversion routes that redirect all through traffic onto either St Paul’s Main Road via Mardigras, or Perdmontemps Main Road. To further organize flow, the segment of St Paul’s Main Road running from the intersection near St Paul’s Police Station back to the Mardigras public road (Greens) junction will convert to a one-way roadway, with all traffic required to travel in the direction of St George’s.
Additional restricted entry zones have also been put in place to avoid congestion. At the intersection of Good Hope and St Paul’s Main Road, Good Hope will function as a one-way road, permitting traffic only from the direction of Mardigras. At the junction of Mardigras and Good Hope, motorists will be strictly prohibited from traveling along Mardigras Road to exit onto St Paul’s Main Road (Greens).
To free up roadside space for event attendees and emergency access, the RGPF has also marked multiple no-parking zones that will be enforced for the duration of the traffic adjustments. These restricted areas include the entire stretch of St Paul’s Public Road running from the Mardigras public road intersection through to the La Borie junction; the left-hand side of Mardigras public road facing the direction of St George’s; and the left side of St Paul’s Public Road from the Mardigras public road intersection to the area near St Paul’s Station, heading toward Perdmontemps.
For attendees planning to drive to the rally, designated parking areas have been set aside to accommodate different groups. Cabinet ministers and other official government attendees will be assigned parking space within the yard of St Paul’s Government School. General attendees and members of the public may park along open roadways outside of the designated no-parking zones, as well as throughout the Hill Crest area.
In closing its official advisory issued through the Office of Community Relations, the RGPF extended a public apology for any disruptions or delays the temporary arrangements may cause for local residents and regular commuters, and said it expects full cooperation from all road users during the event.
