The Tour de France Grand Départ will bring large crowds to the area, so it is important to plan ahead if you live, work or travel along the route.

Road closures will be in place for several hours to keep spectators and riders safe. Emergency vehicles will still have access at all times.

Some nearby roads and diversion routes may also have restrictions to help manage traffic safely for residents, businesses and visitors.

Further information, including route timings, traffic restrictions and parking restrictions, will be published in the autumn on the Tour de France website's resident and business information page.
