Every two years this meeting of heads of state and their entourages snarls traffic in some host country, and this year its us. What we've done is taken this text traffic plan (thanks SueKiri) and drawn it on a map and written it out in a table. The parts marked dark red are officially going to be closed or blocked at random times. The parts in light red are connecting roads we assume will be bad as well.Executive SummaryStay in your home or leave Colombo.Dates    Days    Disasters12th-14th    Tue-Thur    Avoid anything between airports and hotels.Airports means Katunayake and Ratmalana.13th-14th    Wed-Thur    Avoid BMICH15th    Friday    Avoid Nelum Pokuna (Town Hall) and BMICH16th    Saturday    Avoid Waters Edge and BMICH17th    Sunday    Avoid BMICHMore DetailGuests start arriving on Tuesday November 12th and continue till Thursday (the 14th). The new highway will make traffic from the Airport to Colombo not bad, but they will need to get to their hotels, messing up everything from Kelaniya on in, especially Baseline Road and Bauddhaloka Mawatha. Some private jets will also be arriving at Ratmalana Airport, messing up the Galle Road.From the 13th there will be meetings and events at the BMICH, making traffic between there and the hotels bad. Specifically, avoid Bauddhaloka Mawatha. BMICH will be busy till the 17th.The official opening is on the 15th, at Nelum Pokuna. This is near Town Hall and will basically mess up everything. The main meetings are from the 16th-17th at Waters Edge in Battaramulla. This will mess up the Parliament Road for sure, and basically everything between there and the hotels.CHOGM Event CalendarDate    Day    Events    Locations12th    Tuesday    - Heads Of State arriving from airports- Business Forum (Cinnamon Grand)    - Airports, Hotels- Cinnamon Grand13th    Wednesday    - Heads Of State arriving- Foreign Ministers Meeting (BMICH)- Meeting on Harare Declaration (BMICH)- Business Forum (Cinnamon G)    - Airports, Hotels- BMICH- Cinnamon Grand14th    Thursday    - Heads Of State Arriving- FMs Meeting (BMICH)- Civil Society Roundtable (BMICH)- Press Conferences (BMICH)- Business Forum (Cinnamon G)    - Airports, Hotels- BMICH- Cinnamon Grand15th    Friday    - Opening And Conference (Nelum Pokuna)- Main Meetings (Waters Edge)- Youth Dialogue (BMICH)- Press Conferences (BMICH)    - Nelum Pokuna- Waters Edge- BMICH16th    Saturday    - Main Meetings (Waters Edge)- Sports Breakfast (BMICH)- Press Conferences (BMICH)    - Waters Edge- BMICH17th    Sunday    - Main Meetings (Waters Edge)- Concluding Press Conference (BMICH)    - Waters Edge- BMICHBroadly, the heads of state arrive and they have to get to their hotels. Meanwhile events are starting up at BMICH. The thing kicks off on the 15th and they start having their main meetings at Waters Edge. The effect is that everything between Colombo 1 and 3 (where the hotels are) and Battaramulla and BMICH has to periodically and somewhat randomly close down to let them travel through.CHOGM Traffic Plan (Unofficial)Date    Day    Locations    Avoid12th    Tuesday    - Airports, Hotels- Cinnamon Grand    - Airport Highway- Baseline Road- Galle Road from Ratmalana- anything leading to a hotel (everything)13th    Wednesday    - Airports, Hotels- BMICH- Cinnamon Grand    -Bauddhaloka Mawatha- Airport Highway- Baseline Road- Galle Road from Ratmalana- anything leading to a hotel (everything)14th    Thursday    - Airports, Hotels- BMICH- Cinnamon Grand    -Bauddhaloka Mawatha- Airport Highway- Baseline Road- Galle Road from Ratmalana- anything leading to a hotel (everything)15th    Friday    - Nelum Pokuna- Waters Edge- BMICH    Anything between the hotelsTown HallBMICHBattaramulla.Parliament RoadBauddhaloka MawathaUnion PlaceWard PlaceHorton Place, etc.16th    Saturday    - Waters Edge- BMICH    Parliament RoadBauddhaloka MawathaUnion PlaceWard PlaceHorton Place, etc.17th    Sunday    - Waters Edge- BMICH    Parliament RoadBauddhaloka MawathaUnion PlaceWard PlaceHorton Place, etc.If you take the airports, hotels, BMICH and Waters Edge as endpoints, that effectively snarls all of Colombo.
