Budapest traffic changes due to soccer match

According to Turizmus Online, a Hungarian tourism news outlet, the national soccer team will play a preparatory match with Kosovo in the Puskás Arena, Budapest.

According to their statement, it will be forbidden to stop from 8 pm 25 March until 11 pm 26 March on multiple streets around the Puskás Arena. Those include the Verseny Street between Dózsa György and Thököly Streets. The same applies to the Dózsa György Street between the Kerepesi and Thököly Streets from 8 am until 11 pm on 26 March. Furthermore, you will not be able to stop in the parking lot at the junction of Ifjúság, Dózsa György and Kerepesi Streets.

Segments of Asztalos Sándor Street, Ifjúság Street, and Kerepesi Street will also be closed. Moreover, you will not be allowed to stop in the area surrounded by the service road leading to the Papp László Budapest Sports Arena and the Puskás Ferenc Stadium metro station.

Police map shows which streets will be closed for traffic, parking

Several other street segments will be closed for traffic or parking. Instead of listing all of those, thankfully, the Budapest police department made a map on which they cleared which roads will be temporarily closed for parking.

Unfortunately, the text is in Hungarian. Actually, interpreting is not hard: let us help you with that below.

Blue shows the streets on which stopping will be prohibited. In the description (“leírás”) box, you can read the precise date and time. You should consider that in Hungarian, the month’s name precedes the day. Afterwards comes the hour and the minute police plans to close the street segment.

Meanwhile, red is the colour for the streets that will be temporarily and gradually closed for traffic. Those segments will only be closed on 26 March between 4 pm and 11 pm. Interpretation of the Hungarian text in the “leírás” (description) box is the same as above. Here is the map:

The Hungary-Kosovo preparatory match will start on 26 March at 7 pm.

On Friday, the Hungarian team defeated Türkiye 1-0 in the Puskás Aréna on a friendly match. That was the 13th match in Budapest in which Hungary did not lose. The team and the goal below:
