It authorises the holding of a bicycle event on a public highway, with a few provisos, including a written risk assessment and route descriptions and times when the event will start and finish.
All of those criteria have been met meaning the cycling events are able to get started on Monday, with the time trials first on the agenda.
Above: The cycling time trials take place on Monday.
The dispensation allowing cycle races to be held on public roads extends to marshals and media operators as well, allowing them to exceed the speed limit where necessary to facilitate the race.
The winning times in the time trials at the 2019 Island Games in Gibraltar were 37:42.24 in the men’s recorded by Mihkel Råim of Saaremaa and 46:10.91 in the women’s, recorded by Becky Storrie of the Isle of Man.
Pictured: The wording of the Ordinance reflects the need for speed during the Games.
Elsewhere in the island during the Games, there will be a reduced speed in some areas.
To improve safety around some of the areas expected to be busiest, such as Beau Sejour, Footes Lane, Delancey Park and the Hougue du Pommier the speed limit has been reduced to 20mph from today until 14 July.
It is hoped that more people will use the bus – which is free from today until 14 July on all day time routes – cycle or walk. Additional bike parking spaces have been set up at some key areas including at North Beach and the South Esplanade in town.
