The long stretch of road is a popular parking spot for walkers because it leads to the nearby lake as well as the Carneddau and Glyderau ranges. With the sheer amount of cars captured in the footage, it reveals how packed parts of the national park has become over the bank holidays.

Lucia Haf, who filmed the video, said: "It's the same every bank holiday and nothing seems to get done about it. The authorities had all winter to sort something out but nothing's been done. It's just getting ridiculous now."
