What road closure? (1)

The traffic management of the 2019 Tour de Yorkshire, as it passed through west Leeds, left much to be desired. Notices had been up for weeks warning of road closures, but there were no barriers and few police or other marshals, and several drivers defied the closure. Here, the yellow car belonging to one of the race teams was being used as a shield to keep the other car (which had been coming down the 'closed' road) away from the racers.
