Road Network
Olympic Route Network (ORN)Paralympic Route Network(PRN)
• Allows Games Family (athletes/officials/media) to get to events on time
• The ORN accounts for only 1% (109 miles) of London’s roads.
• ORN/PRN will only operate when and where they are needed
• The majority of the ORN/PRN will be open to all traffic.
In some sections of dual carriageway, one lane will be reserved for the Games Family traffic
Games lanes generally operate from 6am – Midnight Games lanes live from 25th July
How will the ORN work?
• Proposed road changes will operate 24 hours a day unless otherwise stated
• Parking, loading and waiting controls remain unaltered unless otherwise stated
• Time required for installing and removing some physical measures
• Active Traffic Management • Variable Message Signs – to let you know what is
going on
• Alternative Olympic Route Network (AORN) will be used by Games family vehicles when road events are taking place
• Alternative routes will be open to general traffic
• Limited temporary traffic changes but will include changes to traffic signal timings
Road Events and The AORN
• Lower impact than ORN/PRN
But: • The AORN may be used for
unplanned situations (in the case of an accident occurring on the ORN, for example)
Enforcement/Compliance on the ORN
• On Street Enforcement – High visibility, uniformed presence to enforce Games Lanes and parking and loading regulations
• Camera Enforcement – Enforcement of Games Lanes and other moving traffic contraventions
• Vehicle Removals – Rapid response service to clear the ORN of vehicular obstructions
• Penalty charge – remains as current
Delivering Around Venues
• Local Area Traffic Management and Parking Plans (LATMPs) around competition venues to prevent spectator parking
• Managed by LOCOG
• Vehicle Permit Checks (VPC)- if drivers have the appropriate
ID/paperwork they should be able to pass
- www.london2012.com/local-residents
Olympic Torch Relay• The Olympic torch relay is a National Event over 70
days, starting this Saturday
• The Torch arrives in London on the 21st of July.
• Avoid disruption, by making all possible deliveries ahead of this time, not simply ahead of the Opening Ceremony on the 27th of July
• Check the dates and route of the torch relay to see how it might affect your operation
www.london2012.com/olympic-torch-relay
For day-to-day business during the Games and passing through a LOCOG Vehicle Permit Check (VPC) your drivers need to be in possession of:
1. Driver licence photo card,
2. Headed company note paper with letter saying that the named driver is employed by the company, this letter must include a contact number for any queries, and
3. A delivery note or manifest (or PDA) with a delivery address identified.

Solutions
The 4 Rs, the simple message• Reduce - pre-order, preventative maintenance
• Re-time - out-of-hours deliveries, change delivery day
• Re-route - change drop order or depot
• Revise mode - collect from store, deliveries to staff
What’s right for your business?• One size doesn’t fit all - not all of theses solutions will apply to your
business
• Depends on:– Location – Sector– Commodity
• Communication with your customers and suppliers is key to facilitate changes in operations
• Use the information online, including ‘how to’ Guide, data, postcodes etc.
• Work with your supply chain and your customers

Overview• Keep London and the UK moving
– London (inside M25) delivered by TfL– Outside London delivered by ODA
• Ensure businesses aware of Games impact and plan accordingly
• Promote the ‘4Rs’ – Reduce (the amount of material being moved)– Retime (making deliveries outside of Games Restrictions,
including at night)– Reroute (around Games-time restrictions and/or to
alternative delivery points)– Revise mode (including different size vehicles)
• Joined-up planning between customers and suppliers
Out of London Locations• Linked to London by ORN (except
Football Stadia) • Generally, impacts reduced due to
fewer and shorter sessions• Local Area Traffic Management &
Parking Plans– Provides a safe environment around venues– Keep traffic moving– Residents and local businesses can go
about day-to-day activity as far as practicable
