POLICE HAVE warned that motorists they are committing an offence by using a 'no vehicle' passage as a through road.

The force has received complaints from residents and councillors that drivers are using Lon Gwalia / Lon Cymru as a cut through from the A470 before the Links roundabout.

They said the road is "clearly" signed as motor vehicles prohibited, except for access, meaning only those who have a legitimate reason for serving a property on that street may pass the 'No Vehicles' sign.

Using it as a through road is an offence, and may result in prosecution.

A North Wales Police spokesperson said: "Anyone who is using it as a "through road" is committing an offence under the Road Traffic Act.

"We are appealing for motorists to observe the signage as any future vehicles illegally using this route may face enforcement by prosecution."
