    Directions & Parking

    <p>For the Coronet Peak Hill Climb, the road is closed for the event and opens roughly every hour for traffic. If it is closed when you arrive, queue in your car down the hill from the closure, in the left-hand lane only, and stay with your car. Unattended cars are towed when the road opens.</p><p>Park in the main car park at the top, which the organisers say is the best place to watch, then walk down to the halfway viewing area. Accessible parking for mobility permit holders is next to the start viewing area. There is no shuttle.</p><p>Watch only from the marked viewing areas, cross the road only at a marked crossing when a marshal says so, and don't move around during road closures. Toilets are at the start line, halfway and the top car park.</p><p>It is an alpine site, so bring sunscreen, warm and waterproof layers, sturdy shoes, food and water, and a chair or blanket.</p>
