More than 120 drivers have been caught breaking a one-way route in Aberdeen city centre over a period of just two hours.
Despite banning traffic northbound on Broad Street since October, 122 vehicles were spotted flaunting the rules between 11.15am and 1.15pm on Friday – more than one per minute.
Only emergency vehicles and buses are currently allowed down the street in that direction as work progresses on the Marischal Square development.
The road is expected to reopen to traffic in both directions in April 2017.
City council communities, housing and infrastructure convener, councillor Neil Cooney, said: “We appreciate the restrictions will inconvenience motorists coming to Aberdeen but they are there to help protect the safety of people working on the building site and prevent congestion.
“Aberdeen city centre gets extremely busy during the festive season so we’re asking people to try not to drive there but if they have to, to use car parks on their side of the city and walk to other locations if possible rather than driving.
A police spokesman said: “Police Scotland is supporting ACC in the enforcement of the road restrictions around Broad Street.”
