The current picture around Goodwood/Chichester;
I'm going tomorrow and haven't been for over 10 years. Are the "Road closures" shown on google maps a red herring? A lot of those roads seem to be the access points to the car parks. I assume its because they become one way roads into the car parks, rather than traditional through roads hence they are showing as closed?
Ideally I want to park in Car park S, but I am coming from Southampton way. Will I be able to go up the road with the blue arrow?
The yellow parking map seems to suggest that road is open?

Was expecting it to be busier even first thing. Set of at 4.20am as I do every year (from Wiltshire, A303, A34, M27, A27), arrived earlier than usual due to a complete lack of traffic, so much so I was in a small group of cars doing a lap of the access road a few times as the signs/staff were not up for the car parks yet (about 6.05am). Followed an unmarked entrance and ended up going into Car Park A 'the wrong way' and parked up right next to the entrance with all the staff.
As an aside, is the 4 lane managed M27 ever 70mph?! At 5.30am this morning it was empty but still 60mph for the entire stretch.

M27 is still apparently going though testing and has never made it to 70mph yet. As an aside, is the 4 lane managed M27 ever 70mph?! At 5.30am this morning it was empty but still 60mph for the entire stretch.

Not sure that I can recall any 4-lane Smart motorway ever going above 60 mph.As an aside, is the 4 lane managed M27 ever 70mph?! At 5.30am this morning it was empty but still 60mph for the entire stretch.
