Safety and Travel Advice
“The Christmas Pageant brings huge numbers to the city each year so road closures will be in place tomorrow morning to keep everyone safe,” said Charles Mountain, RAA Senior Manager of Safety and Infrastructure.
“On-street parking will be as rare as a white Christmas, so check for off-street options and allow plenty of extra time if you’re driving to the Pageant.”
Drivers are encouraged to consider public transport or alternative parking solutions to avoid delays and ensure a smooth and safe morning journey.
