Police closed a north Wales road and towed away 40 cars that were parked illegally near Eryri (Snowdonia). Highway teams were filmed towing cars away and a number had fixed penalty notices attached to the windscreen.
Fines were issued after pictures show a long line of vehicles ignoring the double yellow lines on the side of a busy Eryri road.
In an unprecedented move, police closed a stretch of the A5 in Dyffryn Ogwen in order to remove a large number of vehicles that had parked on the double yellow lines, North Wales Live reported.
