Traffic restrictions affecting residents and businesses along the route
Sunday, 12th September 2010
The Tesco Waterside Half Marathon will take the runners along a route that includes Gransha Grounds, Strathfoyle, Maydown Road and part of the Limavady bound dual carriageway. Please be advised that some traffic restrictions will take effect for the short duration of the event, on Sunday, 12th September 2010.
Unfortunately some disruption is inevitable, but in order to minimise it and to avoid delays we would ask you to consider the following:
- Can you avoid travelling along the affected route during the event?
- If you are travelling during the event please follow the signed diversions. Police and race marshals will be present to provide advice.
- If you are travelling towards the city from Temple Road/Strathfoyle during the event, please use the Maydown Road
- If the route goes past your house, if possible, please do not park your vehicle on the road in order to keep the route clear and to allow the race to pass safely.
- Please drive carefully – remember there will be people running on the road!
We apologise for any inconvenience that may be caused to you by these traffic restrictions. As stated, we will make every effort to minimise any disruption. Please bear with us, enjoy the event if you can and remember that disruptions to normal traffic will only be for a very short time.
