TARGA NEWFOUNDLAND IS COMING TO YOUR AREA Help us help you by Safety Marshaling your own property Be a smart spectator! Stand at least 15 metres from road. Never stand behind red tape. Choose high ground. Never stand on outside of turn. Always stand. Do not sit down to watch. Counsel others. Think Safety! The first priority of Targa officials and volunteers is ensuring the safety of everyone along the route. Obey Safety Marshals in yellow or orange Targa vests. Stand only behind the yellow taped areas. Supervise children closely and control pets. Do not park vehicles near the Targa route (15 metres). Do not cross the road during the event. With the assistance of your community volunteers, officials and police, sections of road will be closed to vehicles & pedestrian traffic for approximately 1.5 hours to facilitate the running of a Targa NL stage.
