Drivers have been urged to follow road signs while essential roadworks are carried out to ensure that the diversion put in place to avoid them is effective.
Fairland Street and Fairland Hill in Wymondham are currently being resurfaced, with a diversion in place for those who want to access Market Street by car while the project is completed.
That diversion takes people along Avenue Road, where two-way temporary traffic lights are in place, before turning left onto Elm Terrace and then onto Bridewell Street, where the one-way system has been reversed.

Almost 1,000 homes are without power this afternoon after a major power cut in Mid Suffolk.
The power cut is currently affecting areas around Stowmarket, Needham Market and Eye.
At its height, more than 2,000 homes were affected but many have since been reconnected.
A UK Power Networks spokesman said: We were investigating a high voltage overhead electricity line fault which caused a power cut in the local area.
It initially expected to have the power cut resolved between 5pm and 6pm this evening, however that has now been moved to between 10.30pm and 11.30pm.

Robert Ball first sparked the family’s interest in the field, working as a night watchman for London Electricity Board.
His son Alfred went on to work as a foreman, grandson Kenny was a labourer, great-grandson Steve, who has lived in Littlehampton since 2018, was a jointer, great-great-grandson Scott is now a jointer and great-great-great-granson Andrew is an aspiring apprentice, meaning a possible sixth generation continuing the tradition in the electricity industry.
