The street that runs north of NHC will be a No Parking Area. Those are the streets we will have restrictions on during the match days.”

Inspector Caines said the restrictions are important to ensure the smooth flow of traffic. He encouraged the public to adhere to the road signs that will be in place.

“It is to ensure that we have a smooth flow of traffic and to ensure that the traffic flows smoothly because it is expected that we will have a large number of persons and the crowds are expected to be large in that area…..I would like to wish the general public and those persons going to the games to adhere to the signs and of course listen to all instructions given and the police will be in the ground to give you instructions because  things can change at the last minute so if instructions are given and signs are placed, please adhere to the signs and restrictions given,” he said.
