From the RTTC site: 1 As a Marshal or Checker you are requested to wear a high visibility jacket or
bib. This helps riders to see you and alerts other road users that "something is happening".
2 Ensure you know before the day of the event the precise point where you are expected to marshal,
the direction from which the riders will come and the direction in which they are to go.
3 The promoter should have advised you beforehand of the time you should be in position. Be on time.
If arriving by car, make certain your vehicle is parked off the highway. Do not park on the verge of
a clearway, in a private drive, or in a lay-by which is likely to be used by public transport during
the event. You may be moved on or summonsed if you are parked illegally. Park with courtesy and
consideration for other road users. Do not obstruct the view of riders or other road users.
4 Stand at a point where you can be seen by approaching competitors and where you will not endanger
yourself or be a hazard to other road users. Do not obstruct road signs.
5 f you receive a complaint from a member of the public, do not get into an argument but refer them
to the Event Organiser. Remember the public image of the sport is in your hands at such a time.
Marshals only Your sole duty is to indicate clearly the route the rider is to follow. Indicate the
way before the rider reaches you, preferably by holding something visible, e.g. the start sheet. The
rider may not be familiar with the course and is looking to you for the direction to be taken. It is
illegal for you to direct, or attempt to control, other traffic In any way or to interfere with its
movement on the highway.
