Traffic management measures are introduced in the Knavesmire area for days when race meetings occur. All race meetings (day-time) will have the following measures in place.

• Directional signage will be placed on major arterial routes to the city to encourage traffic to approach the racecourse via A1237/A64. Further signage within the city boundaries will reinforce the preferred route of approach.

• No Waiting Cones on Knavesmire Road, Campleshon Road, Bishopthorpe Road (part) and north side of Church Lane, Bishopthorpe.

Departure Phase Only – approximately 4.00pm to 7.30pm
