Demonstrators have been protesting against Lebanon’s ruling elite since Oct. 17, leading to the resignation of Saad al-Hariri as prime minister last week.
A number of main roads were blocked in the capital Beirut, witnesses said. Schools were canceled for a third week.
The National News Agency said protesters had blocked roads in other areas including the northern city of Tripoli and south of Beirut in the Khalde area on the main highway to the southern Lebanon.
The unprecedented nationwide protests have tipped Lebanon into political turmoil as it grapples with the worst economic crisis since the 1975-90 civil war.
