City of York Council will be implementing its 'major' traffic management arrangements for the three-day Ebor meeting at York Racecourse on 21, 22 and 23 August.

Different levels of traffic management are implemented according to the nature of each race meeting, with options ranging from 'standard' to 'standard plus' and 'major'.

As the Ebor is the biggest meeting of the season, the following arrangements will be in place for traffic:

- Signs will be placed on major routes into the city to encourage traffic to approach the racecourse via the A1237/A64. Extra signs will be positioned in the city to reinforce the preferred route of approach.
- There will be 'no waiting' cones on Knavesmire Road, Campleshon Road, Albemarle Road, Knavesmire Avenue, Knavesmire Crescent, Bishopthorpe Road and one side of Church Lane in Bishopthorpe.
- As traffic leaves  the racecourse, the traffic lights at the Sim Balk Lane/Tadcaster Road junction will be turned off. This means that there will be no right turn towards the city for traffic leaving Sim Balk Lane. All traffic leaving the A64 to travel to Bishopthorpe will be directed towards the Askham Bar roundabout to execute a  u-turn. Vehicles will then approach the junction from the city direction and be able to turn left into Sim Balk Lane. It is estimated that the restrictions will apply between 4pm and 7pm, although times may vary depending on traffic flows.
- As traffic leaves the racecourse, a partial road closure will be in place on Bishopthorpe Road between Main Street and Church Lane. This will prohibit traffic from travelling towards the city. Those travelling from Bishopthorpe to York should use Main Street, Sim Balk Lane, Church Lane and Bishopthorpe Road.
- A one-way system will operate on Campleshon Road and Knavesmire Road between the hours of 10am and 7pm. All vehicles will access the area from Bishopthorpe Road and exit onto Tadcaster Road. Any streets leading onto Campleshon Road will be closed to prevent vehicles making an incorrect turn into the one-way system.
- Temporary traffic lights will operate at the junction of Knavesmire Road and Tadcaster Road between 10am and 7pm.
- A two-lane system will operate on the arrival phase from the A64 to the Sim Balk Lane/Tadcaster Road junction. This will mean that there will be no access to Copmanthorpe via Top Lane between 10am and 2pm for vehicles travelling from the London Bridge area. The only vehicles entering Top Lane will have travelled on the A64 from the Leeds direction. There will be no exit for vehicles from Top Lane in Copmanthorpe during these times.
