Four Safety Zones established around the Olympic Venues with Traffic Exceptions

Reinforced security for Olympic sites

\n

\nSecurity is a key issue when organizing the Olympic Games. To this end, four security perimeters are supposed to govern access to Olympic venues. These perimeters aim to guarantee maximum protection for athletes, officials and visitors to the Olympic Games.\n

\n\n

First security perimeter: the Olympic enclave

\n

\nThe first perimeter is generally made up of the Olympic enclave. This is a secure area which includes competition venues, training sites, as well as accommodation facilities for athletes and officials.\n

\n\n

Second security perimeter: the exterior zone

\n

\nThe second perimeter encompasses a wider area, including possible spectator gathering places and commercial areas, as well as the main transport routes leading to the Olympic venues.\n

\n\n

Third and fourth security perimeter: peripheral zones

\n

\nThe third and fourth perimeters are more extensive and cover a global space including the entire host city. They aim to protect sensitive areas of the city, to counter any potential external threat and to ensure optimal security for the holding of the Games.\n

Traffic exemptions to facilitate organization

\n

\nAs part of the organization of the Olympic Games, traffic exemptions are generally granted to officials, athletes and service providers linked to the Games. These traffic exemptions make it possible to speed up the travel necessary for the smooth running of the Games, while alleviating pressure on local transport infrastructure.\n

Traffic exemptions: a tool for optimal fluidity

\n

\nTraffic exemptions generally include the creation of reserved lanes and the facilitation of checks at security points. They thus ensure the smooth and rapid movement of people and goods essential to the organization of the Games.\n
