Thousands of athletes and officials are descending on Glasgow in preparation for the start of the Commonwealth Games on Wednesday.
Special travel arrangements are now in effect, with Games Lanes affecting the Clydeside Expressway, the M8 across the Kingston Bridge and the M74.
Police warned drivers that anyone caught driving in the specified lanes would be fined £50.
More than 4,500 athletes will be competing in 17 sports over 10 days.
Many of the venues are now in lockdown with parking and driving restrictions in force.
Athletes and officials are being taken straight to the Athletes' Village in the east end of the city where each nation will be welcomed to a special Glasgow 2014 ceremony.
Organisers have said that a suspected outbreak of norovirus at the Commonwealth Games athletes' village which began last week is now under control.
