29/04/2026

The Commonwealth Games attracts visitors, athletes, officials, and corporate guests from across the globe. With road closures, increased security, and busy event schedules, transport planning becomes essential.

Below, we answer the most frequently asked questions to help you travel smoothly, comfortably, and on time during the Games.

Why is transport planning so important during the Commonwealth Games?

During the Games, host cities experience:

• Heavy traffic congestion
• Temporary road closures and security zones
