West Palm Beach police give update on traffic near Palm Beach County Convention Center

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. —

The West Palm Beach Police Department held a press conference Tuesday afternoon ahead of Election Night.

West Palm Beach Police Chief Tony Araujo encouraged citizens if they did not have business in the city’s downtown to not come because of anticipated traffic congestion.

If you plan to come to downtown West Palm Beach, use a ride-share service instead.

Araujo noted that the rideshares will be notified where they can drop off people heading downtown.

“We are planning for a very safe event,” Araujo said. The chief noted there will be designated sections where people can congregate, but requests citizens to listen to police officers on scene.

The chief added that if you see something suspicious, you should inform law enforcement by using the SaferWatch app.

Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, is holding a watch party at the Palm Beach County Convention center on Tuesday night.
