Madeira Drive to be allocated for walkers and cyclists

Madeira Drive has been temporarily closed to motor vehicle traffic and opened to residents in the area to walk and cycle. It is being stewarded from 8am to 8pm daily so that businesses have essential access to properties. Signs are being put up advising people to keep a safe distance. The move comes as cities respond to a decrease in traffic numbers as a result of the COVID-19 restrictions and look at opportunities to temporarily open up more space on roads for their residents to keep healthy during lockdown.
