Drivers are being warned about long traffic queues being caused by people waiting to get into shopping centre car parks.
Area Traffic Control has said there is a tailback on the inner ring road in Leicester with drivers waiting to get into the John Lewis car park.
Traffic is snaking back to St Nicholas Circle and back onto King Richard Road.
They have also warned that there is long queue to get into the car park at Fosse Park.
An ATC spokesman said: "People should try to avoid these car parks but if they can't then they have to be patient."
