Spinner72 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Nobody can stop you from driving on, or parking on (where legal, of course) any of the roads in town that are open, or any of the public car parks. That said, many roads will probably be closed and more central parking may logically be reserved for those who require it. The park and ride will be by far the easiest and most convenient option for most I would think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuckleJoannie Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 I think you can take your car anywhere in the town if you wish, apart from the Esplanade which will be closed for the duration. Certain areas have been designated for Blue Badge parking . I would think though you would be lucky finding somewhere to park in central Lerwick unless you come in early. It's bad enough at normal times. The leaflet that came with the Shetland Times is here http://www.zettrans.org.uk/bus/documents/TallShipsEventTransport.pdf There are three main designated disabled parking areas during the event.• The Co-op overspill car-park, Holmsgarth• Lower Fort, Commercial Road• Outside Royal Bank of Scotland, Commercial Street Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailor Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 There was a traffic order in the paper last week explaining the planned closures. I'm not sure if it will be in again tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sailor Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 cars going to and from the ferry to Bressay are allowed for in the exemptions of the traffic order. They can access the ferry from the North passed Alexandra building. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
