ORGANISERS of Leeds Festival are keen for fans to use public transport to get to Bramham Park.
But for those planning to drive to the festival, new routes have been put in place this year to minimize disruption to local residents and on the roads.
The routes to the festival will be well signed and are on Festival Republic's website.
year, none of the old festival routes are being used. All traffic will now be directed on to the A1(M), exit at Junction 45 (Boston Spa) and use the local access roads West Woods Road and Paradise Way to travel to the festival site.
An additional route will be available on Thursday - the busiest period for festival traffic. Festival traffic will use the A1(M) to Junction 44 (A64 junction) and then travel westbound towards Leeds using both lanes on a one-way system and turn right into the festival car parks, opposite the Dogs Trust.
To manage this additional route the A64 is being closed to all through traffic travelling eastbound from the Fox and Grapes from midnight on Thursday August 27 until 5am on Friday.
Through traffic travelling from York to Leeds on the A64 will continue as normal but drivers should be aware that queues are possible with festival traffic between the A1 (M) (J44) roundabout and the Fox and Grapes.
Roads and junctions likely to be much busier than normal, as a result of festival traffic, from Wednesday until Friday afternoon are:
• A1(M) northbound and southbound at Junction 45 (Boston Spa)
• Grange Moor roundabout
• Wattle Syke roundabout
• West Woods Road
• Tenter Hill
• Paradise Way
