Road Network
Olympic Route Network (ORN)
Paralympic Route Network(PRN)
• Allows Games Family (athletes/officials/media) to get to events on time
• The ORN accounts for only 1% (109 miles) of London’s roads.
• ORN/PRN will only operate when and where they are needed
• The majority of the ORN/PRN will be open to all traffic.
- In some sections of dual carriageway, one lane will be reserved for the Games Family
traffic
- Games lanes generally operate from 6am – Midnight
- Games lanes live from 25th July
How will the ORN work?
• Proposed road changes will operate 24 hours a day unless
otherwise stated
• Parking, loading and waiting controls remain unaltered
unless otherwise stated
• Time required for installing and removing some physical
measures
• Active Traffic Management
• Variable Message Signs – to let you know what is going on
Road Events and The AORN
• Alternative Olympic Route Network (AORN) will be used by Games family vehicles when
road events are taking place
• Alternative routes will be open to general traffic
• Limited temporary traffic changes but will include changes to traffic signal timings
• Lower impact than ORN/PRN
But:
• The AORN may be used for unplanned
situations (in the case of an accident
occurring on the ORN, for example)
Enforcement/Compliance on the ORN
•
On Street Enforcement – High visibility, uniformed presence to enforce
Games Lanes and parking and loading regulations
•
Camera Enforcement – Enforcement of Games Lanes and other moving
traffic contraventions
•
Vehicle Removals – Rapid response service to clear the ORN of vehicular
obstructions
•
Penalty charge – remains as current
Delivering Around Venues
• Local Area Traffic Management and Parking
Plans (LATMPs) around competition venues to
prevent spectator parking
• Managed by LOCOG
• Vehicle Permit Checks (VPC)
- if drivers have the appropriate ID/paperwork
they should be able to pass
- www.london2012.com/local-residents
Olympic Torch Relay
• The Olympic torch relay is a National Event over 70 days,
starting this Saturday
• The Torch arrives in London on the 21st of July.
• Avoid disruption, by making all possible deliveries ahead of
this time, not simply ahead of the Opening Ceremony on the
27th of July
• Check the dates and route of the torch relay to see how it
might affect your operation
www.london2012.com/olympic-torch-relay
Security protocols during summer 2012
For day-to-day business during the Games and passing through a LOCOG
Vehicle Permit Check (VPC) your drivers need to be in possession of:
1.
Driver licence photo card,
2.
Headed company note paper with letter saying that the named driver is employed by
the company, this letter must include a contact number for any queries, and
3.
A delivery note or manifest (or PDA) with a delivery address identified.
