After closure, do not move onto or cross the road, as cars will pass at approximately 30 second intervals. The road will be closed up to 4 1/2 hours. Exact road closure times will be published in the local press, one week before the event. The road will be officially opened with the passage of a marked police car with flashing bar lights and a siren soon after the last car has passed.
