At 14:00 the Independence March starts, but the resulting road changes have inconvenienced Warsaw residents. TVN24 reporter Konrad Piasecki called the situation “complete absurdity” on social media, noting that the city is blocked and the population “unrewarded.” He added that it is impossible to navigate the Alei Jerozolimskie because the march will take over the streets, forcing people to bounce off police barricades while attempting to reach places such as the National Museum.

On Tuesday the municipal police issued a notice warning that on the streets of central Warsaw, where the celebrations and related events will occur, road services will set up fencing to protect participants. Drivers are urged to heed police signals and avoid certain streets, as some will be closed to traffic. Additional parking restrictions apply, and public transport will see changes.
