PHILIPSBURG:--- The annual carnival of Sint Maarten is now at its peak. The Police Force of Sint Maarten KPSM congratulates the community on its conduct so far as the past week has been fairly quiet. The hope is this will maintain this prevailing standard through the rest of Carnival.
Traffic is expected to become very congested on May 1, 2022, related to the grand parade. Several roads will be blocked at specific times to allow for the free movement of the parade. Motorists are advised by KPSM To use alternative routes to avoid unnecessary delays.
Do’s and don’ts on Carnival parade day:
Avoid parking on Front Street. Vehicles left on Front Street that obstruct the parade will be towed away.
Do not double park.
Respect the no parking signs, pedestrian zones, and other pedestrian areas.
No vehicles should be parked at entrances and exits of properties without the owner’s permission.
Parents must keep a watchful eye on children during parades to prevent them from getting lost.
