A traffic flow system will be in place on the Gallipoli Peninsula and motorists and coach drivers will be required to follow the routes indicated or as advised by Gendarmerie, police or members of the Armed Forces. Private vehicles will not be permitted past the Kabatepe Museum, thereby causing private passengers a three-kilometer walk to reach the ANZAC Commemorative Site.
