Large numbers of visitors to Devon's picturesque coastal routes have caused the area to be over-run with traffic as police appeal to drivers to avoid the worst areas.
It is a repeat of gridlocked roads a fortnight ago when there was 'carnage' as people took advantage of the hot weather and the easing of the lockdown, Devon Live reports.
Despite car parks and facilities remaining closed in North Devon some motorists are still making the long journey so are being issued with parking fines.
Today Devon and Cornwall Police Insp Shaun Kennealley in North Devon said: "Woolacombe is very congested and traffic flow is disrupted.
"We have had to deploy officers to try and manage it. Big delays so avoid the area please."
Police in Ilfracombe also politely pleaded with drivers to go elsewhere: "Please avoid travelling to Woolacombe. There's no open car parks and limited amenities.
"On street parking is full and enforcement is taking place. Visitors can expect to be redirected out of the village. There are other locations locally that are worth visiting."
Ilfracombe and Braunton Police tweeted an image of a car being towed away with the caption: "Parked on a Clearway + Causing an Obstruction + Unroadworthy + No tax/insurance = No Car."
Two weeks ago Devon County Council confirmed that around 70 Penalty Charge Notices were issued in one day for illegally parked motorists in just one of the trouble spots - on Challacombe Hill in Woolacombe.
Police forces across the country have urged people to stick to lockdown guidelines after a surge of crowds flocking to parks and beaches caused chaos on railways.
Officers pleaded with people to take the guidelines seriously and slammed Boris Johnson's decision to announce Monday's easing of lockdown rules ahead of the weekend when temperatures are set to soar to 25C.
A surge in passengers led to "chaos" on rail services to Bournemouth today, The Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union said.
The union blamed "mixed messaging from the Government" and said Cross Country had been forced to try and find additional fleet to cope with the increased passenger numbers.
RMT general secretary Mick Cash said: "The hopeless mixed messaging from the Government and the impact of the Cummings affair has resulted in predictable chaos on the railway today with Bournemouth at the eye of the storm."
Kim McGuinness, Northumbria's police and crime commissioner, said: "By pre-announcing changes ahead of a weekend of sunshine, the PM must have known he was going to create a difficult situation for the police.
"The messaging looks like it was rushed forward to help ministers in a difficult position."
The Lake District's assistant chief constable Andy Slattery added: "We are still a long way from being ready to welcome visitors in the usual numbers and there are still very clear rules about what is and is not permitted."
