In the Tripoli neighbourhood of Tajura, streets have been blocked by residents who used chopped down palm trees to build barricades, disregarding Kadhafi's message to remove roadblocks.
Army and police forces are absent today in the main avenue of Gargares, a residential neighbourhood where witnesses told AFP yesterday that they saw tanks patrolling.

The AFP correspondent says the capital got off to a quiet start with people queuing up in front of bakeries and cars lined up at petrol stations as usual.
Later in Green Square the government supporters began arriving. Men and children poured out of minibuses while some Kadhafi supporters perched on the roofs of vehicles.
Two or three police cars patrolled the area while police and a few men in civilian clothes armed with Kalashnikovs were deployed at the square.
1225 GMT:
All is quiet in Tripoli's Green Square at midday amid pouring rain, an AFP journalist reports.
A few dozen cars are driving round blasting their horns while pro-government demonstrators wave flags and pictures of Kadhafi, the journalist says.
