ACT Policing is alerting Canberrans about traffic disruptions to occur today and tomorrow due to a guest of government visit.
Traffic disruptions may occur today (19 August 2026) until 9pm in the City and Parliamentary Triangle, and tomorrow morning (20 August) on roads to and from the Parliamentary Triangle and the airport.
People travelling to Canberra Airport on Thursday morning should leave plenty of time to make scheduled flights, factoring in potential delays on the roads.
Drivers who find themselves in delayed traffic are reminded to obey the directions of police, and if stopped, should not break road rules (including crossing verges, paths or median strips). Disruptions will be kept to a minimum.
If road users encounter police managing a motorcade, we ask that they:
- Always be aware of their surroundings
- Obey the directions of police - especially at intersections
- Be patient
- Don’t drive over median strips or perform illegal u-turns
- Recognise that the delay will be for a short period only as the motorcade moves through
ACT Policing thanks Canberra's drivers for their understanding as this operation occurs.
