Bollards have been placed at tram stops in Nottingham in an effort to stop motorists becoming stranded on the tracks.
They have been placed at Lenton Lane Bridge, QMC viaduct and Cator Lane in the hope of solving the problem of cars becoming trapped.
The bollards are designed to prevent cars from mistakenly going the wrong way and on to a portion of the road they shouldn't, which is exactly what happened in August last year on the Lenton Lane bridge.
This has led to delays to Nottingham's tram service in the past, as stranded vehicles needed to be rescued and moved before normal service could resume.
The car deterrents were first used at Nottingham station in October 2019 and are now being rolled out at the tram stops due to how successful they have been there. There have been no similar incidents since the bollards were installed.
In a report submitted to Nottingham City Council, Mike Mabey, Head of Operations at Nottingham Trams, said: "Work has been completed on the installation of new vehicle deterrent measures at Lenton Lane Bridge, QMC viaduct and Cator Lane.
"This follows an improved design to the bollards that were installed at Nottingham Station in October 2019, following which there have been no further vehicle incursions.
"The white bollards stand out in contrast to the dark road and pavement areas, and reflective materials have been used to help them be seen in the dark; their positioning also gives the perception that it is not wide enough to pass through."
The works, which are now completed at all three locations across the city, have been funded by NET, Nottingham City Council and Nottinghamshire County Council.
Along with the bollards, signs have also been installed instructing motorists that the route is for 'trams only'.
