Police are pleading with motorists to stick to the one-way system over the TT fortnight.

Work is being carried out today to turn the Mountain Road one-way between Barrule Park in Ramsey and the Creg-ny-Baa - it'll close from 9.30am until 4.30pm.

It's something that happens every year - and something that still catches out both visitors and locals:

Detective Inspector Mark Newey says the problem is exacerbated by SAT NAV systems telling people they can drive onto the course.

Mountain Road closure ignored in less than an hour

Just an hour after the Mountain Road closed, police say they're already dealing with someone who ignored the signs.

The route shut at 9.30am this morning while Department of Infrastructure workers set up the one-way system for TT.

But officers say they've had a report of a cyclist riding on the closed road.

On Twitter, they're reminding people even cyclists have to obey road closed signs, and point out ignoring them is not safe.

The road will reopen at 4.30pm.

Cyclists and obey roads signs dont normally go in the same sentence.
