Enthusiasts congregate to watch racers who reach speeds of up to 200mph.
The island's road safety campaign aims to encourage tourists to ride within their capabilities.
The campaign is being run jointly by the department of infrastructure and the police
From 26 May the A18 Mountain Road, between the Ramsey Hairpin and Creg Ny Barr, will operate as a one-way system.
Acting Dep Ch Con Kevin Willson said: "The festival is one of the greatest spectacles on the sporting calendar and we want everybody to have fun and behave responsibly."
