On Saturday, August 22, tensions and physical confrontations broke out between informal transport workers and the National Police of Peru on Arequipa Avenue near the Parque de las Aguas. The clashes coincided with the initial implementation of the Blue Corridor's bidirectional lane system.
Simultaneously, a separate transit emergency unfolded along the Panamericana Sur between kilometers 699 and 731. Road blockages in the area left thousands of vehicles stranded and caused a critical shortage of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) affecting the regions of Arequipa and Tacna.
