Motorists have received warnings after police monitoring found a notorious Long Stratton rat-run being used by impatient A140 commuters.
Officers issued Traffic Offence Reports to drivers caught using St Michaels Road, which runs parallel the A140 through the centre of the town, as a way to avoid rush hour congestion.
Residents have long campaign for enforcement on the access-only road, which has a 20mph speed limit but regularly sees drivers using the road to access services on Swan Lane especially during peak times.
Police reported six motorists for contravening access only signs on St Michaels Road between 8am and 9am on Tuesday, November 26.

In a tweet South Norfolk Police warned: "Please remember St Michaels Road is not a cut through."
