The Labour Government has now published its
Statutory Instrument 2009 No. 1573 - The Olympic Route Network Designation Order 2009
Made: 23rd June 2009
Laid before Parliament: 30th June 2009
Coming into force: 22nd July 2009

This will cause travel chaos for ordinary London road users.
Even if you are pedestrian or bicyclist, you will be subjected to the evil Advertising Monopoly on behalf of the Official Corporate Sponsors. Woe betide you if are wearing the "wrong" tee-shirt, hat , sports shoes etc.or are drinking the "wrong" brand soft drink or alcohol - you will be harassed by the jobsworth Security enforcers, and probably be arrested as a "guerrilla marketer" or terrorist etc.

Anyone who thought that it would only be a few roads in the immediate vicinity of the Olympic Games sites, is in for a big shock.
The roads affected are:
