Keeping London moving in 2012

Plans to ensure that London keeps moving during the 2012 Games and that athletes, officials and the Olympic family can get to venues on time have been published today.

Details on how London's road network will operate during the Games in 2012 can be read or downloaded at www.london2012.com/publications.

The aim of the Olympic Route Network (ORN) and Paralympic Route Network (PRN) is to help people who are essential to the Games get to the venues, but also to ensure that millions of Londoners are able to go about their business with as little disruption as possible.

Two and a half per cent of London's roads have been designated as part of an ORN/PRN, which will be roadwork free and subject to measures such as traffic signal timing changes. Most roads on the ORN will remain fully open for general traffic. Ahead of further consultation with local communities, the document also sets out the location and extent of temporary 'Games Lanes'.

There has already been extensive consultation with local authorities on the ORN/PRN following the designation of the route and there will be further opportunities for those affected to have their say when local consultation continues later this year.
