The Lloyds Bank Tour of Britain Men is returning to South Yorkshire for the first time in almost 20 years this September.
Stage 3 of the Tour will head from Sheffield to Barnsley, via Rotherham and Doncaster, on Thursday 5 September.
Road Closures
To manage the race safely and ensure everyone has an enjoyable experience, a robust Traffic Management Plan will be in place. The race will be managed by a rolling road closure, which means roads on and around the race route will be closed for a short period as the race passes by. This will usually last about 15 to 30 minutes. Closures will be indicated by police escort vehicles.
Parking Restrictions
The route will be marked with yellow advanced warning signs in the run up to the race and members of the public will be politely asked to refrain from parking during the hours of 10am to 2pm on Thursday 5 September.
- Harley – B6090 Harley Road to national speed limit signs – both sides of carriageway

The impact on public transport and travel
Roads on and connected to the route will be affected throughout the day on Thursday 5 September as the race speeds through South Yorkshire, and some bus services will be diverted or suspended according to road closures. Full information about affected bus services is available at travelsouthyorkshire.com/tob2024.
