Traffic Management Information
To manage the race safely and ensure that the crowds have an enjoyable experience, we have established a robust Traffic Management Plan. The Race will be managed by a Rolling Road Closure, which means roads on and around the race route will be closed for a short period in which it takes for the race to pass by – usually about 15 to 20 minutes around the estimated time of arrival and indicated by police escort vehicles.
The route will be marked with yellow advanced warning signs in the run up to the race and members of the public will be politely asked to refrain from parking during the hours of 10:00 – 14:00 on Thursday 5 September. This excludes parking bays and though you are able to park in parking bays along this section, we do politely request that you avoid doing so, to enable the route to be as clear from vehicles for the cyclists as possible

Tickhill
British Cycling have chosen Tickhill to be a Sprint Section and therefore require parking restrictions to be put in place from the junction of Worksop Road up to Mangham Lane. This means no vehicles along this section will be permitted to park, including parking bays from the hours of 6am – 2pm on Thursday 5 September. Vehicles that are parked on the race route within the clearway between 06:00 – 14:00 will be issued a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) and may result in the vehicle being moved. There are also restrictions on the A60 between Worksop Road and Mangham Lane, in which vehicles cannot stop or park between 06:00 – 14:00.
All other sections of road through Tickhill, members of the public will be politely asked to refrain from parking during the hours of 10am – 2pm, to enable the route to be as clear from vehicles for the cyclists as possible. The route will be marked with Legal notices and yellow advanced warning signs in the run up to the race. Residents will also be notified via letter drops.
Please do not hesitate to get in touch via emailing tourofbritain@doncaster.gov.uk if you require any further information at this stage.
