Traffic restrictions in Phnom Penh next week

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Avoid might be an understatement. I understand they will not allow any traffic on those roads on the 8th, 9th and 11th.
How do people get to work, walk?

Cambodians. Walking?!
Work? Most people will have the whole week off because of the water festival. Phnom Penh will be very quiet during those days I think.
Best tell my sister in law that. She’s working the whole time, and no overtime or double bubble, near Wat Phnom.

They are slave drivers.
There are always exceptions, and a silly one. The masses will have at least five days off in a row and Phnom Penh will be quiet this weekend and next week because loads of people will leave for a short holiday. If ever there was a time to give her a relatively painless leave it's now.
I had trouble finding a ticket back to Ratanakiri last night because so many people wanted to leave for the provinces.

I concur, booked our train tickets on Tuesday, for next Monday , and 1 carriage was almost full already. PP will be deserted that week.

the Phnom Penh Capital Administration will avoid traffic for all types of vehicles from the banks of the Tonle Sap along Street 178, Norodom Blvd., Street 214, Street 51, Street 294 and Samdech Sothearos Neak Blvd.
So, all southbound traffic from Wat Phnom area will be forced onto either Sisowath Quay or Street 19 (that will gridlock quickly) or Monivong, (assuming 110 will be available). As street 63 is northbound only there will be no way to go south between 19 and Monivong.

Northbound will have Monivong, 63, and then nothing until 19 (which will be fucked) or Sisowath Quay.

Is that correct or am I missing something?

Looks like a good week to head down to Kampot.
I think Sisowath is also bank of the Tonle Sap, so closed.....
Tonle Sap refers to the road on other side of the river leading to Sokha Hotel.

News mentions 'the banks'.
We will see. Maybe a mistranslation.
