All the parking restrictions for RideLondon as 25000 cyclists head to …
Preparations are ongoing for the arrival of around 25,000 cyclists to Essex's roads when RideLondon takes place this weekend. The huge number of riders will venture into Essex on Sunday (May 28) as part of a gruelling journey of either 60 or 100 miles from central London.
Organisers have released a huge list of road closures as thousands travel through our county; however, there is also a long list of parking restrictions.
The event has not been without any controversy, with Ongar Town Council saying the event can sometimes result in residents being unable to leave in their cars[1] for the whole day.
Event organisers are reportedly working with Essex and London police services and other organisations to ensure a range of measures are implemented to maintain safety and security. A spokesperson for the event said: "To make the event safe and memorable for all, road closures will be required in some areas of Essex and London."
They added: "Road closures will be in place in some areas of Chelmsford, Epping Forest and Uttlesford on Sunday 28 May for the mass participation rides, significantly impacting parts of these districts.
"Parking restrictions will be in place on roads used by the event on Sunday 28 May. If you usually park on a road that will be closed for the event, please move your vehicle the night before. On-street event signs will advise of the specific parking suspension times. Any vehicle left on the route or parked in a suspended parking bay will be relocated."
