Streets near the president's home were blocked to traffic by empty buses and dump trucks or temporary pedestrian security checkpoints where law enforcement officers and National Guard troops checked people's bags.

Checkpoints around the National Mall in front of the Capitol opened early to begin admitting guests, some of them wearing red caps bearing Mr Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan.

They were barred from bringing selfie sticks, coolers for beverages, and long umbrellas despite the rainy weather.

Most of the area was orderly, but about 100 protesters shouted slogans near one checkpoint and linked arms to block people from entering.

Police in riot gear pushed them back into an intersection to allow people attending the inauguration to reach the checkpoints.

Thousands of anti-Trump protesters are expected among the inauguration crowd and many demonstrators will participate in a "Women's March on Washington" on Saturday.
