Pedestrian and Cyclist Day celebrations in Bolivia

Overview

Bolivia observed National Pedestrian and Cyclist Day on September 6, a mandate established by Law No. 150 to promote physical activity and reduce pollution. To comply with the law, cities such as Oruro and La Paz implemented motorized vehicle restrictions during specific daytime hours. In Oruro, the ban lasted from midnight until 18:00, while La Paz restricted vehicles from 08:00 to 18:00, with exceptions for emergency services. These restrictions led to adjusted bus schedules and suspended operations at terminals in La Paz and Cochabamba.

Following the implementation, celebrations included family-oriented activities such as the sixth edition of the ‘Dr. Sergio Silvetti Pardo’ non-motorized stroller race. In La Paz, the National Police Academy participated in sports activities including yoga and volleyball at Plaza del Estudiante. Similar celebrations occurred in Venezuela, where authorities in Maracaibo organized cycling events to reclaim public spaces.
