Police have closed a number of busy roads as the public flock to the north coast on Bank Holiday Monday.
The PSNI has imposed closures in the Portrush area of Co Antrim on due to congestion in the town and full capacity at public car parks.
Earlier on Easter Monday, a spokesperson for the Police Service of Northern Ireland said that delays were to be expected in both the Portrush and Portstewart areas.

They said: "Traffic is expected to be very busy in and around both Portstewart and Portrush today. Visitors should expect delays.
"Motorists are asked to follow advice and directions given by police on the ground and to park appropriately, observing any parking restrictions in place. Please make full use of available public carparks.
"With so many people eager to visit the north coast over the coming days, local police will be present to help minimise disruption and ensure public safety."
They added that due to high congestion and full capacity at all carparks in Portrush, road closures are being implemented at:
- Metropole Corner
- Dunluce Avenue
- Causeway Street
Only vehicles exiting the town will be facilitated until roads are cleared of congestion. Please use alternative routes.
