The municipal council of Cairo governorate started Saturday putting into effect a parking ban on the sideways of a main road linking the upscale Zamalek district to Downtown Cairo.
The ban on 26th of July Street is part of a wider campaign by local authorities to control traffic jams.
The municipal council recently introduced a four-level underground garage in Tahrir Square and has since gradually banned parking in Downtown streets.
It has also relocated street vendors to a nearby garage.
