Starting just 2 weeks after the end of the Olympics, the Paralympic Games are now the 2nd largest event, drawing in excess of 2 million spectators.
Whilst the Games will undoubtedly be an exciting spectacle, they will inevitably cause disruption to normal patterns of travel and delivery due to the following:

to 800,000 expected on the peak day;
· Parking and Local Traffic Management Zones around the venues;
· Increased Security measures;
· Road Events such as cycling and the marathon.
