Should traffic lights be installed on the Holy Island causeway to stop motorists getting stranded?
Visitors to the Northumberland beauty spot have their say...
Motorists have been captured ignoring safe crossing times on the Holy Island causeway - just a day after emergency teams were scrambled to the Northumberland beauty spot to rescue four people, whose vehicles were trapped by the rising tide.
That's despite an ongoing campaign to warn drivers of the dangers.
It's prompted renewed calls for barriers - or traffic lights - to be installed between the island and the mainland.
The latest incident, which is believed to be the first of 2025, unfolded around 2.30pm on Wednesday - more than two hours after the last safe crossing time.
Seahouses lifeboat had just been tasked with responding to another emergency nearby when the call came in.
It quickly scrambled the in-shore lifeboat to the scene, where it was supported by Coastguard teams from Berwick, Holy Island and Seahouses.

A spokesperson for Berwick Coastguard said: "Initially we responded to reports of two vehicles and four people stranded on Holy Island causeway.
"With the tide going out, we arrived on scene to find the casualties safe and well on the bridge by the refuge box.
"They were left in the care of Northumbria Police to arrange recovery of one vehicle, whilst we were immediately re-tasked onto the island to deal with a second incident."
Greatest Hits Radio watched on Thursday afternoon as motorists began crossing the causeway more than an hour before the safe crossing time came into force.
And, while it was receding, the signs warn not to proceed when water's on the causeway.
Anyone visiting the area is being urged to plan ahead and check the safe crossing times online.
The spokesperson added: "With the good weather and the start of the Easter break fast approaching, we expect to see an influx of visitors to Holy Island. Please stay safe and always check the safe crossing times."
