Crossing points - Frieman - 14-12-2022 Our third visit to the races next year and wondered where the vehicle crossing points are situated when roads are closed for racing? I’ve been told there are two, one I know of is near Braddan Church but where is the other or others? RE: Crossing points - captainsparkledotcom - 14-12-2022 I've seen the road open adjacent to The Railway pub in Union Mills, I think to go up Strang Road to Nobles, is there one in Ramsey too anybody? Must admit it's not something I've ever really taken much notice of, I've always stayed put! Sorry. RE: Crossing points - Chris_Sav - 15-12-2022 From the TT 2022 guide Douglas, St Ninians crossroads between Ballaquayle Road and Ballanard Road Douglas, Bottom of Bray Hill between Stoney Road and Tromode Road Douglas, Peel Road between the Quarterbridge and Strang Road, Union Mills Crosby, between Old Church Road, Eyreton Road and Ballavitchel Road Michael, Barregarrow crossroads Kirk Michael, between Douglas Road Corner and Faaie ny Cabbal Ballaugh, between Station Road and Glen Road Lezayre, Sulby Glen crossroads Ramsey, between Glen Auldyn and Gardeners Lane Ramsey, between Christian Street and Westbourne Road Ramsey, between Lheaney Road and Barrule Park Onchan, between Signpost Corner and Bedstead Corner Onchan and Douglas, between Governor’s Road, Victoria Road and Second Avenue I thought Cronk-Y-Voddy X rds was as well RE: Crossing points - captainsparkledotcom - 15-12-2022 Wow! I would never have dreamt there where so many! Cars must have driven past us & I never noticed!! All that intense concentration watching the bikes, then zone out between races!

It was more for if our prospective Homestay is inside the circuit and we are watching on the outer. RE: Crossing points - Chris_Sav - 16-12-2022 A little bit of googling yourself and you could have answered your own question rather than query advice given. https://www.visitisleofman.com/isle-of-man-tt/all-you-need-to-know-tt-2022/our-island-guide From the guide: 5. CROSSING PLACES AND ACCESS CORRIDORS In any interval, the Clerk of the Course may authorise traffic to cross or proceed along the Course at the places specified below, at such times as they may specify:- Douglas, St Ninians crossroads between Ballaquayle Road and Ballanard Road etc etc plus of course the access road on the old railway for light vehicles under the bridge at Union Mills RE: Crossing points - Frieman - 16-12-2022 (16-12-2022, 10:42 AM)Chris_Sav Wrote: A little bit of googling yourself and you could have answered your own question rather than query advice given. Apologies for taking so much of your time. RE: Crossing points - Splashdown - 16-12-2022 No need to apologise. I have been going to the TT (and Manx) since 1953, and I found this information helpful. To be fair, these days, the 4 lap races are over in under and hour and a half, so there's no need to move. I can see that you may wish to cross the course between races.......and there appears to be many more delays these days.

I googled & couldn't find anything up to date & I have to admit Chris_Sav, I've not seen that guide! RE: Crossing points - Smokin Haddock Racing - 23-12-2022 There is only one crossing point DURING races, and that is the access road under Braddan Bridge. As Chris stated above, the Clerk of the Course may, when the roads are closed, but there isn't any actual racing taking place, open up various crossing places.
