Rules to ease Decoration Day traffic at the cemetery
Officials urge strict vehicle limits at Decoration Day to prevent congestion. Autos with grave decorations may enter until 11 am and must stay on cement drives, with passengers unloading promptly and leaving the grounds. Pedestrians should remain on grass while cars move in and out to clear the cemetery by 11 am.
Guidance on Aircraft Gate Parking and Traffic Flow
Instructions direct passengers after discharge to move east to a clear area then turn and park on the north side of the road at an angle. Parking on the south side is forbidden.
