Police hand out 23 tickets to drivers in one day at Hyde Park Corner

Police officers handed out 23 tickets to drivers in one day during a traffic operation at Hyde Park Corner in Leeds.

The junction has had a new road layout for several months, police said.

However, many drivers did not comply with the new layout and made left and right turns that are no longer permitted.

Police handed out 23 tickets to the drivers on Sunday, May 9.
