Tour DoonHame - Traffic Management
Road Traffic Act Cycle Event Sign
Look out for event signage on affected routes.
Thank you for taking the time to visit this page. The routes for each stage of the Tour DoonHame have been devised in consultation with the police and local authority and are designed to minimise disruption to normal road traffic.

The main pack of competitors in a cycle road race travels at an average speed around 25 mph. While some delays are inevitable, road users are unlikely to be delayed for more than a few minutes when the race passes in the opposite direction.

If travelling behind the race you may be held up a little longer. However, if you are planning to use any of the roads specified below, you may wish to allow extra time for your journey, or use an alternative route.
