Drivers ignoring a work site detour are risking lives in Hastings.
Hastings District Council said in a statement on Friday that some drivers were not following detour signs indicating they must turn left from Warren St South into Heretaunga St, instead turning into oncoming traffic.
Those who continue to disobey will have their plates photographed and the police will be called by traffic management personnel, the statement said.
Hastings District Council Council's operations and monitoring committee chairwoman Geraldine Travers said in a statement the behaviour was unacceptable.
