As part of their "Uprising for Change Campaign" protestors on Wednesday established their sixth camp at Shaheed Square in Kabul's PD10 area - closing the road to the Hamid Karzai International Airport.
Despite their sit-ins being peaceful, these camps have created serious problems for Kabul's traffic across the city.
In addition, government has closed all roads which lead to the Presidential Palace.
"The camps which has been established as part of the campaign to seek justice (for the 150 people killed in a truck bombing last week), are located in important places in order to put more pressure on government to accept the protestors demands," said Murtaza Jalali, one demonstrator.
Firefighting forces and more than 10 police vehicles have meanwhile been tasked to ensure the safety of the protestors in Shaheed Square but the move has created heavy traffic jams in the area.
"All roads are closed and those who had patients could not get them to hospitals due to road closures," said Azizullah, a taxi driver.
Meanwhile, vendors in Pul-e-Mahmoud Khan area said the road has been closed to traffic for the past six days and that they have not been able to work in this time.
Sayed Amir and Baba Jan, two shopkeepers in Pul-e-Mahmoud Khan area, said their business has been affected by the road closure in the area.
"Our business is down because of the closure of Pul-e-Mahmoud Khan area. All shops are closed," said Sayed Amir.
"We pay taxes but when the roads are closed we pay the price," said Baba Jan.
Other residents said they had to walk several kilometers to reach their destinations due to so many roads being closed to traffic.
The protestors are calling for the dismissal of the national security advisor Mohammad Haneef Atmar and other security heads in the wake of Wednesday's deadly truck bombing.
By Wednesday, the demonstrators had erected their sixth camp in the city.
