Road closures are in place. The website has a specific section for road closures. Please check the guidance: http://bit.ly/1FB6ytv
If during the time of your closure there is an urgent request for access, please contact a member of race personnel which will be found around the route. If access can be provided in a safe manner, this will be facilitated however with a large amount of cyclists, access onto to route cannot be guaranteed as the supervisor will need to deem it safe and appropriate.
What happens in the event of an emergency?
If an emergency service vehicle needs access during the closure period, this will be facilitated. It is requested that blue light services enter the route and travel with the direction of the race in order to reduce the risk of conflict with riders. To be clear, in the event of an emergency, any fire, ambulance or police vehicle will be permitted to access that emergency. All local services are aware of the route and all staff have been briefed to cooperate with all emergency services.
What do I do if a relative has home care?
All personnel will be briefed that essential medical and care providers should be allowed to cross the route when it is safe to do so should they need to access.
Local authorities have informed their care providers and alternative arrangements have been made however if the care provider is a private company or a relative, please contact roads@vcoolsm.com if you have any special requirements.
