The error was made after contractors painted new road markings on the road in front of a crossing in Milennium Square.

The council says it is planning to correct the error later today.

A spokesman for Leeds City Council said: “We are aware of an error on some road markings in Leeds City Centre made by a contractor. Work is being carried out to correct this later today at no cost to the council.”
