There is the potential for some disruption on roads the weekend of the Dave Day celebration and Appleby Horse Fair next month.
On Saturday June 8, thousands of people will be making their way to Barrow to celebrate the life of Hairy Biker Dave Myers, who died earlier this year.
Appleby Horse Fair will also be taking place between Thursday June 6 and Wednesday June 12.
Westmorland and Furness Council is encouraging all visitors to behave responsibly and respectfully while visiting the area.
A council spokesman said: “The council is working with other statutory authorities to ensure public safety and minimise community impacts arising from the events in Barrow for Dave Day and in Appleby for the annual horse fair.
“With so many people visiting the area, it is inevitable that there will be increased traffic levels and the potential for some disruption on local road networks.
“Temporary traffic restrictions will be in place in and around both towns to support the safety of residents, as well as the thousands of visitors expected at their respective events.
“We urge all road users to be respectful of these measures and to exercise caution on all routes into Barrow and around Appleby where slow moving, horse drawn vehicles will be present.
“We also encourage all visitors to behave responsibly and respectfully while visiting the area to help support our efforts to ensure these events are safe and enjoyable for everyone.”
