During a road closure, there will be no vehicular access along the route. This means that residents and customers of businesses will not be able to drive in or out of driveways and car parks.
Pedestrian access will be maintained.
At some junctions, which are marked on the leaflet and poster, vehicles will be able to cross over routes with the help of marshals. The emergency services will have their usual full access. Volunteer marshals, Guernsey Police, and Guernsey Civil Protection will be lining the routes.
Recently, a decision was taken to also close Victoria Avenue for four evenings from 5pm till 9pm to coincide with the Guernsey men’s football matches and one of the semi-finals. In this case, residents will still be able to drive in and out.
“We did a big publicity campaign about the road closures earlier this year so that people had plenty of advance notice to plan ahead. We are now within two weeks of the Games, so we thought it was important to remind people about the temporary closures. They are necessary in order to ensure the safety of competitors, spectators, marshals, the emergency services, and the wider public,” said Games director Julia Bowditch.
