Wow, they still do the closed roads on Sundays? That was an amazing idea. When I first arrived I lived right down on carerra 24 which was a bit skanky but quickly moved to 96 in the Zona Rosa.
That massive 8 lane road is called Avenida Septima and when I was finding my way around I thought ‘if I follow the traffic, I’ll be heading the right way’.
I kept getting lost and it was about 3 days before I realised they change the direction of traffic morning and evening!
