It is important that people understand that road closures will happen during the parade, so please make alternative plans.

It's been going on for decades so that is rather obvious.

You say that. But I only moved to Marple two years ago, and last year I was on holiday when the carnival was on. So this is actually the first time it will impact me.  And it will impact me as the carnival route goes near my house.  Something I was not aware of until - guess what - I read it on this thread.

In short, what is obvious to some, may not be obvious to everyone!
