These recommendations are based mainly on the forecast of the traffic cuts while it is recommended to walk to the bounded areas.
Likewise, it is advisable not to lose sight of dependent persons or children, who must always go from the hand of an adult, in order to prevent anyone from invading the route and can go unscheduled by getting too close to the floats or their wheel.
