Mountain Road remains two-way for duration of event
Police are urging people to ‘know your limits’ as the Manx Grand Prix gets underway on the Isle of Man.
2023 marks the centenary of the road racing event.
Roads around the Snaefell Mountain Course, in particular, are expected to get busy this week as visiting race fans merge with Island residents going about their daily business.
It’s just three months since thousands of people were welcomed for the TT – and whilst visitor numbers don’t match up to those recorded each June they do pose additional challenges.
Sergeant Michael Taylor is in charge of the Roads Policing Unit:
Unlike TT the Mountain Road will remain two-way for the duration of the Manx Grand Prix period – cycling on it remains prohibited.
Temporary speed limits have been brought in on lower parts of the course and on the Laxey Coast Road.

The Isle of Man Constabulary says it will use the MGP as an opportunity to build community relationships.
PC Louise Kennaugh works within the Eastern Neighbourhood Policing Team:
Sergeant Taylor told Manx Radio discretion during any event like this is key:
Repairs to Manannan engine complete
Disability roundabout installed at Noble's Park
Man appears in court accused of sexual assault on bus
Ramsey's Minor Injuries Unit closed due to staff sickness
One local entry in Sunday Times Rich List
Bishop-designate says having a vote may aid transparency
