Drivers on the A90 will be targeted in a police operation next week.
On Monday and Tuesday officers in Kincardine and the Mearns will be carrying out patrols near Stonehaven.
The operation will target inconsiderate driving as well as examining small commercial vehicles to check for road safety issues.
Constable Holliegh Scott said: “There are a significant amount of commercial vehicles of all sizes travelling around Stonehaven and making use of the A90 trunk road. Many of these vehicles routinely visit building sites and sustain damage to tyres, lights and windows that are sometimes overlooked by those using them.
“This operation, running alongside Operation Cedar is aimed at targeting these smaller commercial vehicles to ensure that any defects that do exist, or maybe have gone unchecked, are remedied.
“It is a balance between education and enforcement that will ensure drivers and those operating such vehicles maintain them to a good standard.”
Staff from the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency are also taking part in the patrols.
