The world-famous Eschborn Frankfurt cycle race takes place every year on May 1st in Frankfurt and the surrounding area. This puts a metropolitan region to a considerable stress test, as the race routes pass through Frankfurt and the neighboring Taunus region. The professional race finishes at the Frankfurt Opera House.
In order for this to be and remain possible, acceptance must be ensured among those who are not fans. Early, precise and reliable information is the be-all and end-all here. The organizer GfR knows this and has been using placeit for years.
All restrictions during the day of the event are consistently documented on the placeit map of Frankfurt and the surrounding area. This begins long before the actual race day and is constantly updated and adapted to new conditions. This means that the people of Frankfurt can find out in good time where they can expect to encounter closures on the first of May.
But placeit not only records the restrictions, but also all the gates that make it possible to cross the race route. And this is where those looking for information can also find the latest information on the opening times of each lock. This allows them to plan precisely when they will be able to pass through where.
And because placeit shows the current status of the event, this information is really useful. Or as one organizer once said: "We have far fewer calls to our hotline."
