Tour de Yorkshire 2019 road closures: all the Doncaster and Barnsley routes affected

The Tour kicks off for stage one in Doncaster on Thursday 2 May, finishing in the market town of Selby after a 182.5km ride.

The stage will last around four hours and 30 minutes, and will see a number of roads closed to allow the cyclists to pass through.

How the road closures will work and when roads will be shut

All roads along the routes will have a rolling road block of around 30 minutes.

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.

"Typically the closure is in place for between 20 and 50 minutes depending on the severity of the stage, how far into the stage the race is and the weather."
