27 Detailed traffic management plan North-West Greenwich

28 What this means for you? In the immediate vicinity around venues there will be temporary changes to the local road network - this will impact on your normal routing. Vehicle permit checkpoints - you will still be able to gain access to undertake deliveries and servicing however operational restrictions may apply at certain times. Pedestrian access should be maintained at all times. Temporary parking areas - these will not affect your ability to load and unload normal rules will apply. Active traffic management - means measures will only be in place when absolutely necessary to support venue operations.
