Car enthusiasts, take note. The District of Columbia is gearing up for the U.S. Department of Transportation Car Show this Thursday, but those planning to drive near the event might need to hit the brakes on their usual commute. Expect closed streets and parking restrictions from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. on May 29, specifically along New Jersey Avenue from M Street to Tingey Street, SE, and Quander Street from Yards Place to New Jersey Avenue, SE.

According to a recent advisory from the Metropolitan Police Department , seen as a heads up for those driving in the area, those failing to observe the emergency no-parking signs will find their vehicles not where they left them, but rather ticketed and towed. While driving through the Car Show vicinity, heavy delays are a good bet, and alternative routes should be seriously considered.

Pedestrians will likely be out in force. The MPD and D.C. Department of Transportation are urging drivers to exercise extra caution, expecting increased foot traffic around the event. For real-time updates on the traffic situation, they advise drivers to check in with x.com/DCPoliceTraffic, although as of now, all scheduled closures and parking restrictions are set to go as planned.
