The road closure will be in place for up to 1 hour post event to support the safe and quick exit of pedestrian traffic from Coventry Building Society Arena.
This post-event closure is installed for safety reasons and will be kept to an absolute minimum, with the road being reopened as soon as it is safe to do so. This is a method that is applied at other stadiums and venues across the country.
Vehicles in Car Park C and Arena Shopping Park will not be held back but will only be allowed to exit Southbound towards Coventry City Centre and should then follow the diversion route put in place if heading towards the M6. Once the closure is lifted, Car Parks A and D will be released first to ensure minimal disruption. There will be full access to Arena Shopping Park during the closure.

Safety & Security
“See Something, Say Something”
We are working with Counter Terrorism Policing to help keep everyone safe this summer. We are supporting their summer campaign, encouraging the public to stay alert and report anything that doesn’t feel right to security.
We all have a role to play in keeping each other safe. Your safety is our priority and that’s why we have:
Security staff and stewards throughout the venue
Bag checks and entry screening at all entrances
CCTV throughout the venue and car parks
Police coordination for major events
Vehicle monitoring in parking areas using ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) cameras
Crowd-control procedures and evacuation plans
Restrictions on prohibited items such as weapons, fireworks, alcohol, and large bags
You can play your part by trusting your instincts, and if you see something that doesn’t feel right, tell security. Our teams will take every report seriously. You won’t be wasting their time.
Here are some quick tips to help you have a safe and enjoyable time:
Arrive early, allowing more time for security checks and measures
Be patient with security checks. It might seem inconvenient, but they are in place to help you
Keep it simple and minimise what you carry. Fewer bags to search will speed up entry
Stay alert and look out for each other. If you see something that doesn’t feel right, tell security. Don’t leave it to someone else
Don’t leave bags unattended. Never agree to look after a stranger’s bag, no matter how genuine they seem
If there is an incident, listen to staff and any announcements
Your safety is our priority. We work closely with West Midlands Police as part of Project Servator, which involves visible policing and security measures across the Arena to help create a safe and secure environment for everyone.
If you see something that doesn’t feel right, please speak up. Even a small concern can be important.
You can:
Report directly to Arena staff, security, or police
Submit information anonymously via gov.uk/ACT
Call 999 in an emergency
Staying alert and looking out for each other helps keep the event safe for everyone. If you see something – say something
