Olympic Torch Relay in Shanghai: Traffic Control
Olympic Torch is in Shanghai now. The torch relay will restart after the national mourning period for Wenchuan earthquake (May 19-21). Originally, it was planned on May 20 and 21. I got this notice about traffic control on May 23 and 24 in Shanghai via an email. It might be helpful for you.
