During the Paralympics, the road closures have been reduced from those in place for the Olympic Games. The security-related road closures and parking restrictions that are in effect during the Paralympics ensure we are able to provide the best security possible for the venues for which we are responsible.

While these closures may cause some temporary disruption of traffic flow in specific areas, it is incumbent upon the Integrated Security Unit to provide the best security possible for the Games, the athletes and the general public.
