Manual traffic management (Stop/Go) will control inwards and outwards drivers to the carparks and there will be speed restrictions on the highway. Good Friday traffic management вЂ“ slow down, Stop/GoДЄround 10,000 people go to the Airshow on the Good Friday practise day, about half the Saturday volumes.

Speed restrictions will be in place and drivers are encouraged to slow down given the amount of people and cars in this area and the Airshow taking up peopleвЂ™s attention. Outside the morning and afternoon carpark filling and carpark emptying hours, the state highway will be open in both directions as a two lane highway. Outside the morning and afternoon ebb and tide flow periods People who want to pick others up need to ensure they arrive and park at the Airshow carparks well before 4 pm or after 6 pm. Drivers can go away from the airport in both directions with no inbound traffic towards the airport, bar emergency vehicles. Ideally, they should try to drop people off well before 9 am when the traffic starts to build up and people are looking for a carpark.ДЄfternoon advice for leaving the carparks and picking people up 4-6 pm

People who want to drop others off can probably also do so, but need to exercise caution as they leave as the road lane outwards will be constricted by people coming in. Emergency vehicles and residents will also be able to have access both directions. To get people safely parked, drivers can drive towards the airport carparks from each side of State Highway 6 in these hours. Morning inwards towards the carparks 9am to 11am In order to avoid traffic jams, drivers parking on Saturday and Sunday need to be aware that SH6 in the vicinity of the Airport will be run largely as a one-way system morning and later afternoon to get people smoothly in and out of the carparks.Дuring these times a detour will be available to those using SH6 to go to destinations other than the Airshow вЂ“ see below for more detail.ДЇrom the intersections of the Tarras and Cromwell highways to the south of the airport to the intersection of SH6 with Ballantyne Road on the Wanaka (north) side of the airport, the road will have traffic management controls morning and afternoon/evening. Held at Wanaka Airport to the south-east of the town, the main highways feeding people to the Airshow carparks from the south are State Highway 6 from Cromwell, State Highway 8A from Tarras and from the Wanaka side, State Highway 6 to the east.Дrivers wanting to park and attend the Airshow
