Default Olympic Lanes

Using a games land will result in an automatic £130 fine - who's says that the Olympics won't be good for the economy

Olymic Road Network (ORN)
The ORN is a road network linking Games venues and other key sites. Normal traffic can use most of the ORN, although there will be temporary changes such as suspended turns, stopping and loading restrictions and changes to traffic signal timings. Stopping or parking on the ORN will result in a £130 penalty charge and your vehicle may be towed away.
Game Lanes
Some lanes on ORN roads will be reserved as Games Lanes and are for use by athletes, officials and the world’s media. The vast majority of Games Lanes are in outside lanes. In these cases, normal traffic can use the adjacent lane(s). Driving in a Games Lane will result in a £130 penalty charge.

Games Lanes will be very busy. They will be for the use of Games vehicles only from 0600–midnight. If Games Lanes are less busy, they will be switched off and electronic signs will indicate that normal traffic can use them.
The alternative is that London would grind to a halt, but I would imagine that this will still cause chaos!

Perhaps it's my left wing leanings but it annoys me that all these so called celebrities who have no connection with athletics get freebie tickets etc.

Anyone feel the same?

If they get G4S to take care of the fines then most people should get away with it
