The 2014 Ryder Cup is coming to Perth and Kinross from 23-28 September. This is one of the most prestigious sporting events in the world and it is an exciting time for the Perth and Kinross area.

Many spectators will be travelling to the event by Park and Ride. There are 3 Park + Ride sites - Balado, Kinross (7,500 cars), Castleview, Stirling (3,500 cars) and McDiarmid Park, Perth (1,500 cars).

To minimise disruption in your area and to ensure that business continues as usual, a structured transport, safety and security plan has been formulated by the Event Organisers in conjunction with Police Scotland, The Gleneagles Hotel, Perth & Kinross Council and other local authorities.

Temporary Road Closures
For event security and safety, temporary road closures will be in place from Monday 22 September until Sunday 28 September in the following locations:
• The A823 will remain open for local access to businesses and residences, however it will be closed to through traffic between
A91 at Yetts O’Muckhart and A9.
• B918 will be closed between A91 and Burnbrae.
• Mawhill Road will be closed from A91 to B918.

Temporary One-Way Traffic
To minimise congestion on the roads, temporary one-way routes will be in place from Monday 22 September until Sunday 28 September. These one-way routes will generally be north and eastbound from midnight to 2.30 pm, and then west and southbound from 2.30 pm to midnight (see map).

Temporary Speed Limits
To manage the flow of traffic, temporary speed limits will be in place from Monday 22 September until Sunday 28 September on the following roads:
• 40mph from M90 to Carnbo, A91.
• 40mph from M90 to Tillyochie, A977.

Prevention of Fly Parking
To prevent Ryder Cup spectators parking in the local area, and then walking onto the site, Ryder Cup Europe operates a strict policy of not allowing spectators to walk onto the Park + Ride site. Spectators must arrive by taxi, bus, or by car.

To ensure no fly parking in your area, and that there is a smooth flow of traffic, temporary no waiting restrictions will be introduced in the areas marked in pink on the above plan.

Permit Zone
Special vehicle passes will be printed by Ryder Cup Europe and issued by the Police Scotland community engagement officer to all residents living within the designated road closure or restricted access routes to allow 24 hour access to their homes and frontages.
