Police warn of traffic delays on Monday due to motorcade training exercise

Police are warning of traffic delays on Monday morning around Canberra Airport, the Parliamentary Triangle and the Australian War Memorial due to a motorcade.

The motorcade is part of a training exercise, police say.

People travelling to the airport have been urged to arrive early to avoid any potential delays.

"Traffic disruptions may occur on roads near the Canberra Airport, Australian War Memorial, Parliamentary Triangle and EPIC between 8am to 10am," a police spokesperson said.

People travelling to Canberra Airport on Monday morning should leave with plenty of time to make scheduled flights, as well as factoring in potential delays.

Police have also issued directions to drivers who encounter motorcades, including they don't drive over median strips or perform illegal U-turns.

"Drivers who find themselves in delayed traffic are reminded to obey the directions of police, and if stopped should not break road rules (including crossing verges, paths or median strips). Disruptions will be kept to a minimum," a spokesperson said.
