During this time, central London will become a massive sporting and cultural venue, with tens of thousands more visitors expected in the area each day. Roads and public transport will be much busier than usual and we will be working hard to help host a great Games and to keep London moving. A Visa Report* last year predicts a 750m additional consumer spend during the seven weeks of the Games which will benefit local business as well as the wider economy. The Central London Zone will include Embankment, Green, Corner, Kensington Gardens, Marble Arch, St James s and. The information in this guide will help you understand where the transport network and roads will be busiest and how your journey or deliveries could be affected particularly on road event days. For ease of reference specific information on the Olympic Games can be found at the front of the guide and Paralympics in the latter half. To find out how to get around during the Games, visit GetAheadoftheGames.com. This guide has been produced to give you all the information you need to plan your journey in advance and to enjoy the Games which are happening on your doorstep. * The report, A Golden Opportunity: London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games Expenditure and Economic impact is available at GetAheadoftheGames.com 3

3 Olympic Route etwork and Games Lanes The Olympic Route etwork (OR) is a network of roads connecting venues, accommodation and transport hubs across London which will be open to normal traffic. A number of temporary road changes will be in place to ensure reliable journeys for athletes and officials. These changes could mean that the usual route you take through central London may not be possible. For full information about the individual restrictions that will be in place, please use the temporary road changes tool at GetAheadoftheGames.com. Some roads on the OR will also have additional designated Games Lanes. These will be clearly signposted and will only be available for use by accredited vehicles including athletes, officials, media and blue light emergency vehicles when in operation. The adjacent lane will be open to normal traffic except where roads are for Games family only. Games Lanes will typically be in operation and enforced between 06:00 and midnight, but this will vary in some cases (check the times of operation on the roadside signs). Vehicles that drive in Games Lanes, load, park or stop illegally on the OR will be removed and will face a 130 Penalty Charge otice (PC). To avoid being issued with a PC, motorists should not drive in the Games Lanes when they are operational. They will be easily identifiable by clear markings on the Lanes and signs along the roadside. All roads in central London will be very busy and subject to delay. Roads that will be particularly affected include: Great Cumberland Place southbound Lane both ways Street eastbound Millbank northbound Westminster Bridge westbound Roads that will be closed in central London include: The Mall Horse Guards Road Roads that will be restricted to Games vehicles and local access in central London include: Constitution Hill (access only via Buckingham Gate) Birdcage Walk (access only via Buckingham Gate) Great George Street Whitehall (access only via Horse Guards Avenue) Parliament Street A map of the OR can be found on page 9. Many members of the Olympic family will be staying in hotels on or around Lane. This will make this area extremely busy and local restrictions will be in place. Please see maps on pages 10 and 13 for more details. Key dates In the weeks leading up to the Games, a large programme of temporary changes to the road network need to be implemented: From 1 July, road markings will start to be put down along the OR but these will not change the operation of the roads. Adjustments to over 1,300 sets of traffic signals will also begin from 1 July, before traffic levels significantly increase as thousands of athletes and media descend on the Capital. These adjustments will have minimal impact on road users as they will be balanced out by the complete ban on all planned roadworks along the OR and on A and B roads. To ensure as little disruption to local residents and road users as possible, the physical changes along the OR, including installing temporary traffic islands and barriers to simplify junctions will be mostly carried out at night. This will start at 21:00 on Friday 20 July and finish the morning of Wednesday 25 July. The operation and enforcement of the OR, including the Games Lanes, will begin on Wednesday 25 July, a couple of days before the Opening Ceremony. It will end operation a couple of days after the Olympic Games and will not be in operation between the Olympics and Paralympics. The smaller Paralympic Route etwork (PR) will come into operation just a couple of days before the Paralympic Games. More information on the Paralympics can be found on page 21. Once Games events are completed at a venue, such as Wimbledon, the OR will be removed. There will be additional changes to roads and local parking around Olympic venues. We are implementing the changes on behalf of London 2012 to ensure that resident and business parking is protected and the venues can operate safely. Full details of changes and timings can be found at london2012.com/localresidents. Road events Road events in London will take place on eight of the 16 days of the Olympic Games and on one day of the Paralympic Games, with many of these races starting and ending on The Mall. To ensure the safety of spectators and athletes these events will take place on closed roads. Corner will be closed for most of the day on four of the road event days and Embankment will be used for both the Olympic and Paralympic Marathons. ing will also be suspended along the routes and in some surrounding streets. Roads will re-open after an event as soon as it is safe to do so.

9 L Road events Road events in London will take place on eight of the 16 days of the Olympic Games and on one day of the Paralympic Games. To ensure the safety of athletes and spectators, road races need to take place on secure roads. To facilitate this, closures and parking restrictions will need to be put in place on the days of the competitions. Roads will be re-opened as quickly as possible after the event has finished. After the events, barriers will need to be removed, road signs, traffic lights and islands reinstated, roads thoroughly cleaned and crowds dispersed before roads can be re-opened safely. If you live in the area you should plan ahead to avoid disruption to your journey. If you usually drive in central London you are advised to avoid the area on competition days. If your journey is absolutely necessary you should plan your route carefully and leave additional time for your journey. Plan ahead and travel by public transport, walk or cycle.

Though smaller in scale than the Olympic Games it still presents a significant logistical challenge in central London. Paralympic Route etwork A Paralympic Route etwork (PR) will run along Birdcage Walk and Embankment in central London but will not apply to Lane, Marylebone Road and other parts of the OR. A map of the PR is on page 22. As with the OR changes will be in place as a result, including Games Lanes. If you drive in Games Lanes, load, park or stop illegally on the PR you will be removed and face a 130 Penalty Charge otice. Paralympic Marathons The Paralympic Marathons on 9 September will start and finish on The Mall. There will be advance road closures from midnight on the day of the race. After the race has finished roads will re-open as soon as it is safe to do so. Public transport Tube and train stations will continue to be busier than usual during the Paralympics so you will still need to plan your journeys in advance. BT London Live, Trafalgar Square BT London Live will move from to Trafalgar Square from 29 August-9 September. This will provide an iconic backdrop for watching the events on the big screen. The area will be busier than usual however no additional traffic measures are expected to be needed. Maps The following four maps give an overview of the PR, more detailed information of the PR in the Central London Zone, a map of the PR at Corner and a map of the Paralympic Marathon route. The Paralympic Marathon map shows the roads where vehicle access will be restricted during the races. You will still be able to access properties and businesses on foot or by bicycle. Vehicle access will be maintained for local residents and businesses affected by the road closures for as long as possible on either side of the road event passing through.
