Amgen Tour of California <br /> Traffic Management Plan <br /> Scope <br /> The 2015 Amgen Tour of California will be held May 10-17th over 725 miles of <br /> California roadways. The race will feature 144 cyclist plus various support vehicles and <br /> staff. These athletes and vehicles will travel along the course in a "caravan" ender the <br /> escort of the California Highway Patrol (CHP). The"bubble"of this escort is expected to <br /> be 10-20 minutes as it moves along roadways. See the attached caravan diagram for more <br /> information on the quantity and location of 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. <br /> Traffic Control Staffing <br /> Traveling Marshal <br /> (75 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 /> Marshals are equipped with cones, safety vests and flags. In addition their vehicles are <br /> equipped with brooms, shovels and patch material in case of repairable road conditions. <br /> Marshals also receive PR training in order to work with local residents and road users <br />
