Watch Out! Roads Closing for Summit

This is from Al Watan ; I am guessing they meant to say January 19 + 20:

Roads to close 9 hours for summit

KUWAIT: The Ministry of Interior on Saturday called all citizens and residents to cooperate with the security personnel to ensure the smooth flow of traffic everyone”s safety.

The Interior Ministry”s Assistant Undersecretary and Director General of the General Traffic Department Major General Mahmoud AlـDowseri told reporters that certain roads will be closed from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and from 3:00 to 9:00 p.m. during the Arab Economic and Social Development Summit that is scheduled to be held in Kuwait from Jan. 19ـ20.

He added that checkpoints will be set up on some roads to ease traffic for all those participating in the event who will be provided with special stickers on their vehicles to allow them to have access to those roads.

All those who try to illegally jump the checkpoints will endanger themselves as they will be prevented from doing so by the security forces and will be prosecuted accordingly, he warned. ـKUNA

  4. LLOLL – I can only guess 40, and I am guessing that because of all the gussying up between 6th ring and 5th ring, and probably roads from Sheraton, Palms and Hilton to . . . what, Bayan Palace? Where do they hold these meetings?

    I’m with Evil – where do we get the stickers??
