This increases the risk of road accidents taking place – many of these locations are in national speed limit areas and aren’t suitable parking locations.

A spokesperson said: “We advise against parking on the A6112 during tonight’s ride out to Norham (Monday August 7 ) due to the nature of the road and anticipated traffic volume.”
