More than 50 drivers were caught speeding near Highland schools last month, police have announced.
Officers carried out checks at Holm, Cradlehall, Lochardil and Hilton primaries in Inverness, as well as Mulbuie Primary in Muir of Ord, Munlochy Primary and Invergordon Academy.
During a week of enforcement after the October holidays, 36 drivers were warned for speeding offences, three drivers were issued with conditional offers of fixed penalties and 12 drivers were reported to the Procurator Fiscal.
A 26-year-old man who was stopped near Hilton Primary on Thursday, November 1 will also be reported for a number of other offences, including driving while disqualified and without insurance.
Sergeant Gus Murray from Highland and Islands road policing said: “The safety of children travelling to and from around schools is an issue of concern for the whole community.
“Speeding drivers are putting the lives of school children at risk and this cannot be tolerated.
“It is disappointing that drivers continue to fail to comply with speed limits around schools and we will continue to carry out enforcement at schools in the Highland and Islands area.”
