POLICE are cracking down on off-road drivers who churn up the Ridgeway.
A temporary road order bans vehicles from the ancient track between October and April.
Sgt Max Sharman, of Wiltshire Constabulary said: "The track is being resurfaced, but there is so much traffic it is not being given time to recover.
"We will be patrolling the area. Any driver we find will be reported for breaking the road orders."
Off-road drivers have been blamed for potholes and damaged grass verges on the route, believed to be Britain's oldest road.
