How the road closures will work and when roads will be shut
A Tour de Yorkshire spokesman said:
"For each stage the closures will be managed by the police as a ‘rolling closure’.
"This means that the traffic will be stopped at any given point between 10 and 30 minutes ahead of the first cyclist.
"When the race, and all the official and team vehicles, have passed the roads will reopen again. The last vehicle in the race group is a lorry with screens on both sides telling people watching that the roads are open again.
