 This is the second year the festival has been at Bramham Park |
Traffic heading for this weekend's Leeds Festival has been causing long delays for drivers in the north of the city. The outer ring road through Roundhay and Seacroft and the A64 towards Bramham was almost at a standstill for much of Thursday.
More than 50,000 people and around 13,000 cars are expected at the music festival at Bramham Park.
The Highways Agency says more delays can be expected on Friday.
The festival starts on Friday evening and goes on until Sunday night.
Local villages
Most festival-goers are expected to have left the site by noon on Monday.
The Highways Agency, West Yorkshire Police and festival organisers Mean Fiddler have worked out a series of routes to get traffic to and from Bramham Park without going through local villages.
For those without their own transport, a shuttle bus service is operating from Leeds bus station to the festival site.
This is the second year the festival has been held at Bramham Park after moving from its previous home at Temple Newsham in Leeds.
Headline acts this year include Franz Ferdinand, the Darkness and the White Stripes
