This is how mobility has been affected in Bogotá during the third day of motorcyclists' protests

The streets of Bogotá live this Wednesday the third day of protests by motorcyclists. Saplings and impairments to mobility are due to the recent barbeque restriction on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 7:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m.

The regulations emerged as a response to the security situation in Bogotá and although it would begin to apply from April 14, Mayor Claudia López has not yet issued the decree that will regulate the restrictions. The local president explained that during this Wednesday she will listen to the comments that citizens and the motorcycle guild have on the draft decree.

For its part, the biker's union believes that the decision will not impact safety, but it will affect citizens.
