- Roads are not closed to neighbors who live in or on the route, but are closed to all others.
- Neighbors are allowed to drive on the route if they are going directly to or from their homes.
- Drivers are not allowed to travel multiple blocks on the route. They must turn at the first available intersection.
- All cars moving on or through the route must be escorted by an Open Streets volunteer at all times.

move barricades or cones.
