    Sounds like a box ticking

    Sounds like a box ticking exercise to me – a complaint’s been made, so they have to go through the motions of talking to you before concluding that there’s nothing to see here.

    Probably best to get the advice of someone more qualified than internet lawyers, though.

    I would assume they’re coming from the far end of that view and falling down the steps, rather than trying to drive up them, but even so…

    Yup – then they can get stuck on the bollard instead.

    The key thing to remember is that this race, and other amateur races are not running a rolling road closure.

    Ah – well that makes more sense then. I’m pretty sure the earlier version of the story I read suggested it was on closed roads, but it now says

    The race is not on closed roads, as temporary road closure orders were not secured in time.

    Which makes this sound more like a story about an organisational screw-up somewhere than one that’s really about the 20mph limit.

    I always thought the road

    I always thought the road closures effectively suspended the rules of the road for the passage of the race. Certainly on the larger races, none of the vehicles seem to pay much attention to speed limits (or, for that matter, road markings, etc.).

    Perhaps, though, as Chris suggests, it’s more about the peripheral logistics, outside of the rolling road closure.

    I struggled to understand the quotes on this – apparently the new speed limit is irrelevant and the deciding factor is whether the race can be run safely, and yet somehow the same route that was safe in previous years suddenly isn’t any more?
