Advice for motorists

The road layout will have changed so please

• take extra care
• take note of all signs
• watch for pedestrians and cyclists who may not yet be used to two-way traffic

We will have TfL staff on site to assist drivers for the first few days of the two way traffic. In particular please note the following key changes:

1. You cannot travel north on Gower Street further than Grafton Way. All northbound traffic will be signed to turn left onto Grafton Way.

2. During the restricted hours the easiest way to go north is via Gower Street:

3. If you are using Oxford Street to travel north you should carry along New Oxford Street and use Bloomsbury Street / Gower Street

4. If you are approaching Cambridge Circus you should use Shaftesbury Avenue to reach Bloomsbury Street / Gower Street

5. If you do approach the southern end of Tottenham Court Road you will be forced to turn right onto Great Russell Street
