Grenada’s law enforcement agency has released a formal public advisory outlining temporary traffic management regulations to accommodate the upcoming National Democratic Congress (NDC) political rally scheduled for Sunday, 18 October 2026, at the Kirani James Athletic Stadium.
The new traffic rules, issued by the Traffic Department of the Royal Grenada Police Force (RGPF), will go into effect at 12:00 p.m. local time and remain in place until the rally concludes. The advisory maps out clear adjusted access routes for all motor vehicles heading to the national sports venue: vehicles approaching the stadium will be required to enter via Queen’s Park public road, accessing the route from the intersection of Stadium Ring Road and Hump Back Bridge, where it connects to River Road public road.
To maintain orderly crowd and vehicle movement during the event, multiple road sections will be closed to all incoming vehicular traffic. These restricted areas include the stretch of Stadium Ring Road running from the junction with Mt Rush public road toward Humpback Bridge, the full length of Cemetery Hill starting from its intersection with Church Street, and Old Fort public road from its junction with Lucas Street.
Organized parking zones have also been segmented to accommodate different groups of attendees. VIP parking is split between two designated areas: a grass plot directly behind the rally stage is reserved for NDC candidates, while party executive members will use the warm-up track area for vehicle parking.
For general attendees, three primary public parking zones have been approved, with an overflow space designated for peak attendance. Official designated public parking areas include the perimeter of Gate 6 (for police vehicles and charter buses), the open area in front of the National Cricket Stadium closest to River Road, and the grounds of Wesley College. If these primary zones reach capacity, additional spillover parking will be permitted on the left side of Stadium Ring Road heading in the direction of Cherry Hill.
A number of popular access routes have been marked as no-parking zones to prevent congestion and safety hazards. Parking is strictly prohibited along Queen’s Park public road from the Keep Left intersection to Cherry Hill, on the left side of Stadium Ring Road heading toward D’arbeau, along Mt Rush public road from its intersection with Stadium Ring Road up to the hilltop, and on River Road public road from the Keep Left intersection to the LA Purcell lumber yard.
To ensure rapid emergency response if needed, a dedicated clear emergency access route has been established. All emergency response vehicles will be granted unimpeded access along the route running through Cemetery Hill, Old Fort Road, Lucas Street, Church Street, and onto Grand Etang Road.
In addition to traffic and parking rules, the advisory also prohibits all unauthorized street vending activities along Stadium Ring Road in the immediate vicinity of the venue entrance.
The advisory was officially released through the Office of the Commissioner of Police of Grenada.
