Other Access

Emergency Vehicle Access

At all times, the traffic management strategy seeks to maintain direct and convenient emergency vehicular access around the routes. In circumstances of emergency access requirements specifically along the event routes, it is anticipated that relevant sections will be made available by event organisers and the Victoria Police.

Taxi Access

Taxi vehicles will have the same access restrictions as per the general public in terms of road closures and traffic diversions.

There will be no significant disruption to pedestrian access to and from Southern Cross Station during the event. Passengers should note that the route of the run passes to the south side of the station and turns right into Collins Street, where the road is closed.
