Saturday Bike week Traffic exit 20
Usually I'm on the bike for bike week and taking back roads in. But this year we'll be boating and taking exit 20 off 93 about noon time how bad is the traffic going to be?

Best bet
Is to take 393 in Concord and Rte 106 to Laconia bypass. Much better trip. The races are later in the week.

Very Best Bet
393 to 106 is the route we usually take. Less traffic and fewer traffic lights. Easy towing. Very strict enforcement of the 55mph speed limit on 106.

Depends on your destination....
Like 308 said... there is very little bike week traffic at Exit 20. I disagree with Barney & Broadhopper... There is more apt to be Bike Week slowdowns if you take 106 past the race track. I drive 106 everyday and there are quite a few vendor tents set up at the track already. The track is making a big push this year to be a Bike Week destination. One of the bridges is closed on the Laconia Bypass for construction work... small detour there, not a big deal, but you cannot use the offramp... they have a weird setup that makes sense but requires a sharp turn. The question is.. where do you want to end up??

Would agree where do you want to end up would be a big basis for which way you should go. Where I live taking 106 is a hassle compared to just getting off exit 20. |

You will see traffic on par with the highest it's ever been for Bike Week this year. They will shatter all records for traffic, noise, business, police response incidents, alcohol purchases, you name it.

Should be a over by Friday.

As far as sharp turns are concerned, not really a problem. I watched a semi with a large trailer go from bypass westbound towards Belmont, and turn on the access to head toward Gilford village. The set up is like a large rotary, with traffic on the bypass exiting the by pass on the off ramps. At Gilford Ave are stop signs and yield signs. Cant go under the bridge. If you want to make what would normally be a left turn from the end of the bypass off ramp, then go up the on ramp, and turn left on the access over to the opposite side off ramp. Right turn at the end and you are on your way. Been by it a half a dozen times in the past few days. Should be a memory after tomorrow.
