Tourists from around the world are in town for the three-day Formula 1 Grand Prix this weekend, and additional closures for Mural Fest and FrancoFolies mean Montreal's streets will turn into frustrating maze.

The city is recommending drivers leave their cars at home and use public transit as much as possible.

The following streets will be accessible only to pedestrians and emergency vehicles:

Peel Street

With Formula 1 activities happening on Peel Street, the street between Sherbrooke and René-Lévesque Boulevard will be closed to anyone not on foot. Details about the weekend events and Peel Street party can be found on the Peel Formula website.

The closure will last until June 11 at 6 p.m. As well, only one lane on Metcalfe Street is open to traffic.

Cyclists are advised to use detour routes on de la Montagne and Mackay streets.

FrancoFolies

The FrancoFolies music festival, which runs from June 7 to June 16, will mean traffic congestion in the area around Place des Arts and the Quartier des Spectacles.

Along with artists setting up on side streets to paint large-scale artworks, St-Laurent Boulevard will be closed to serve as the main artery for pedestrians.
