Amgen Tour of California <br /> Traffic Management Plan <br /> Scope <br /> Stage 1 of the Amgen Tour of California will be held on February 19 along sections of <br /> Hwy. 1 and Panoramic Highway in Marin County. The race will feature 128 cyclist plus <br /> various support vehicles and staff. These athletes and vehicles will travel along the course <br /> in a"caravan" ender the escort of the California Highway Patrol (CHP). The "bubble" of <br /> this escort is expected to be 10-20 minutes as it moves along roadways. See the attached <br /> caravan diagram TOC-CD-1 for more information on the quantity and location of <br /> vehicles. <br /> Course Information <br /> See the attached course logs and maps for specific route information, including <br /> intersection and arrival information. <br /> This log will be updated to show the positions of volunteer marshal locations at <br /> intersections along the route. <br /> Public Information and Notification <br /> Citizens along the route will be notified through a combination of fixed signage warning <br /> of road delays, and a public awareness campaign. The contract public relation company <br /> contracted by the event organizers will issue press releases and contact local media in the <br /> 2-3 weeks before the event and continue through event day. See the attached maps and <br /> spreadsheets for locations of fixed notification signs. <br /> Traffic Control Staffing <br /> Traveling Marshal <br /> (80 total) <br /> Traveling Marshals receive extensive training and travel with the event throughout the <br /> week. These marshals are divided into groups of 8-10 and take positions along smaller <br /> side roads to assist law enforcement. In addition these marshals are deployed in areas <br /> where there might be a routing or safety concern (turns, entrances to divided sections of <br /> road, steep downhills, etc.) <br /> Each marshal group will deploy on a set section of road ahead of the arrival of the race. <br /> Immediately after the passage of the race, the marshals will be picked up and leapfrog to <br /> another position further down the route using and alternate route. On most cases the <br /> marshals will makes two of these jumps per day, effectively doubling their numbers. <br />
