MAP: Secret Service outlines Red and Green Zone restricted areas in DC ahead of Inauguration Day

The Secret Service has released a new map of the parts of downtown D.C. that will be restricted zones during inauguration week.

WASHINGTON — Road closures in the nation's capital continue to ramp up ahead of Inauguration Day. 

The U.S. Secret Service released an updated transportation security and public access map that labels significant road closures as red and green zones. 

The red and green zones laid out by the U.S. Secret Service don’t just include the Capitol and National Mall. The perimeter has been expanded out to include some nearby residential and commercial areas. This means parking garages in those areas will be closed until after the inauguration, and residents in those areas may be asked to show their identification to National Guard officers assisting DC Police with traffic control duties before they are allowed into their neighborhoods.

Additionally, Matthew Miller, the special agent in charge of the U.S. Secret Service’s Washington Field Office, said vehicles entering both the green and red zones will be swept for weapons and explosives before being allowed to proceed.

Miller said residents and businesses in those districts who need to move about during inauguration week should contact their building owners or managers, all of whom should have been contacted by a Secret Service agent with the necessary information.
