Police say traffic jams in the Island's capital last night were caused by a "perfect storm" of circumstances.
Traffic came to a standstill in Douglas yesterday evening as the roads closed at teatime for the Festival of Motorcycling.
Although they opened between 5pm and 6pm, a crash in Kewaigue meant tailbacks stretching back to the town centre, and horse trams on the prom caused problems along its Northern end.
Inspector Gavin Callow says he understands motorists may have been frustrated, but there was little police could do:
