Drivers were facing delays on a busy Dundee road due to roadworks.
Temporary traffic lights are in place on Arbroath Road, near the junction with Gotterstone Avenue.
Scottish Water is carrying out work on a loose hydrant.
As a result, motorists on Monday afternoon were facing delays of up to 10 minutes to get through the lights.
10-minute delays during Arbroath Road roadworks
Traffic was said to be queueing as far as the Scott Fyffe Roundabout and the Claypotts junction.
One driver said: “It took me around 10 minutes to get through from the Scott Fyfe Roundabout.
“One side of the road has been coned off and a set of lights has been put up.
“Traffic is moving but there are long tailbacks in both directions.
“It’s going to be a nightmare come rush hour.”
The driver added that no work appeared to be taking place as of 1pm.
Dundee City Council’s roads report says the roadworks are due to run from 9am on Monday until 6am on Tuesday (July 30).
However, the Scottish Roadworks Commissioner’s website says the project is expected to last three days.
A spokesperson for Scottish Water: “We apologise to motorists experiencing delays on Arbroath Road in Dundee.
“We are carrying out repairs to a hydrant cover and to allow the works to be carried out safely there are two-way temporary traffic lights in operation.
“We anticipate the traffic management being removed at midnight, once the repair is complete and road surface cured, to prevent any defects.
“Thank you to motorists and residents for their patience.”
