Manual traffic management (Stop/Go) will control inwards and outwards drivers to the carparks and there will be speed restrictions on the highway. Good Friday traffic management – slow down, Stop/GoĪround 10,000 people go to the Airshow on the Good Friday practise day, about half the Saturday volumes. Speed restrictions will be in place and drivers are encouraged to slow down given the amount of people and cars in this area and the Airshow taking up people’s attention. Outside the morning and afternoon carpark filling and carpark emptying hours, the state highway will be open in both directions as a two lane highway.
Outside the morning and afternoon ebb and tide flow periods People who want to pick others up need to ensure they arrive and park at the Airshow carparks well before 4 pm or after 6 pm. Drivers can go away from the airport in both directions with no inbound traffic towards the airport, bar emergency vehicles. Ideally, they should try to drop people off well before 9 am when the traffic starts to build up and people are looking for a carpark.Īfternoon advice for leaving the carparks and picking people up 4-6 pm People who want to drop others off can probably also do so, but need to exercise caution as they leave as the road lane outwards will be constricted by people coming in. Emergency vehicles and residents will also be able to have access both directions. To get people safely parked, drivers can drive towards the airport carparks from each side of State Highway 6 in these hours. Morning inwards towards the carparks 9am to 11am
In order to avoid traffic jams, drivers parking on Saturday and Sunday need to be aware that SH6 in the vicinity of the Airport will be run largely as a one-way system morning and later afternoon to get people smoothly in and out of the carparks.ĭuring these times a detour will be available to those using SH6 to go to destinations other than the Airshow – see below for more detail.įrom the intersections of the Tarras and Cromwell highways to the south of the airport to the intersection of SH6 with Ballantyne Road on the Wanaka (north) side of the airport, the road will have traffic management controls morning and afternoon/evening.
