They will pay special attention to private traffic that runs inside the contour made up by: Cruz de Lagos, Palacio de Congresos, Poeta Manuel de Góngora street and Puente Verde, because it's usually needed to do traffic cuts and detours if the traffic get much slow in the access of vehicles to the city center.

It'll be issued the access to the public transport while processions let it. (As a rule, there will be traffic cuts one hour before in city center: Gran Vía - Reyes Católicos - Puerta Real de España).
