Control reforzado contra la doble fila en CABA

Buenos Aires City Hall is running daily anti-double-parking sweeps in some of the capital’s most congested neighborhoods, adding loudspeaker warnings before tickets are issued. (mdzol.com) The current phase started about a month ago in Recoleta, Balvanera, Once and Palermo, where transit agents made 4,000 warnings and wrote 150 violation reports, according to local coverage published on April 21 and April 22, 2026. (iprofesional.com, mdzol.com) The city is now extending the operation to Caballito, Núñez, Belgrano and Colegiales, focusing on commercial and restaurant corridors where stopped cars can block a lane and slow buses and private vehicles behind them. (iprofesional.com, mdzol.com) The warning system is simple: a city vehicle or agent uses a loudspeaker to tell drivers to move, and a fine follows if the car stays in place. MDZ reported the goal is to clear traffic faster and cut the obstructions that pile up in high-turnover areas. (mdzol.com) The crackdown fits into a broader traffic-ordering push that Buenos Aires has been building for more than a year. City officials said in 2024 that they were adding 1,300 transit agents and nearly 200 motorcycles to expand street enforcement capacity. (c5n.com, nueva-ciudad.com.ar) Buenos Aires says its transit corps has citywide coverage and about 2,000 agents under the road-safety plan, giving the government a standing enforcement force for school zones, shopping streets and major avenues. (buenosaires.gob.ar) Double parking has been a recurring complaint in the city, especially outside schools and at busy pickup points, where one stopped car can force traffic to merge suddenly and back up an entire block. La Nación reported in 2024 that school entrances were one of the most persistent trouble spots. (lanacion.com.ar, clarin.com) The city’s message is not that every stopped car gets an instant ticket. In this phase, officials are pairing audible warnings with on-the-spot enforcement, trying to move drivers first and sanction repeat or noncompliant cases after that. (mdzol.com, iprofesional.com) For drivers in Buenos Aires this week, the practical change is visible at curbside: more agents, more patrols and less tolerance for treating a travel lane like a temporary parking spot.
