Drop-off zones and controlled approaches
Big venues manage the roads leading in much as an airfield handles aircraft. You'll find marshals directing lanes, traffic running one way, and a set-down area that moves according to the event and the size of crowd expected. Follow the signs and the car gets in without fuss. Head for the main doors instead, and you're stuck in a queue going nowhere.
Our checks cover the particular event you're attending, not just the venue. Put a Saturday arena show next to a midweek awards dinner at the same address and you get two separate traffic plans. Typically, the gap between them is forty minutes.
