Olympic Games Lanes

I've just been sent this by the Games Local Engagement Team:

"Cyclists (and all other general traffic) will be able to use the ORN; however they will be prohibited from travelling in most Games Lanes, which will be on approximately a third of the ORN. However, nearly all (95 per cent) of the Games Lanes are offside (i.e. away from the kerb), which is not the preferred position for cyclists, and arrangements will be made to allow cyclists to travel in most of the nearside Games Lanes. Where lanes are located on the nearside, provision has been made in most Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs) to enable cyclists to use these lanes.

The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) enforces against anti-social and illegal road-user behaviour by cyclists, including cycling on pavements, cycling without lights during the hours of darkness, and crossing stop lines whilst traffic signals are on red. Cyclists who are found committing such offences are currently issued with a £30 Fixed Penalty Notice. This will continue at Games time with anybody flouting these temporary restrictions being at risk of a Fixed Penalty Notice."

So watch out for those £30 fines!
