Plan your route: temporary traffic lights affect TT course access next week

By 3FM Published 6 March 2026

If you're planning to explore the legendary TT course next week, take note: temporary traffic lights will be in place at Handley's Corner on the main road between Kirk Michael and Cronk Y Voddy from Monday, March 9.

The Department of Infrastructure will be carrying out essential road repairs at this iconic location, a route that thousands of visitors traverse each year to experience the famous mountain course. While work is underway—expected to take around two days—drivers should expect a temporary 30mph speed limit and traffic light controls. Although it may add a few minutes to your journey, this maintenance ensures the course remains in excellent condition for visitors and residents alike.

For the best travel experience during this period, consider timing your visit outside the repair window or plan for a slightly longer drive through this spectacular part of the Island. The TT course offers some of the most breathtaking scenery in the world, so a leisurely pace through Kirk Michael's stunning landscape might just enhance your visit.
