The publisher is providing live updates for drivers seeking to follow traffic disruptions from early in the day.
According to the report, the closures are not caused only by protest blockades. Accidents, maintenance work, insecurity, adverse weather and other incidents on the roads can also lead to partial or total closures of traffic.
