A family of ducks brought traffic to a halt as they waddled across a busy road, causing drivers and cyclists to stop and wait.

The incident took place on Koltsevaya Street at the entrance to Yanino in Saint Petersburg, Russia, and was posted online on 3rd August.

Footage filmed by one motorist shows a line of at least 10 ducks calmly crossing the tarmac as three vehicles stop in one of the lanes to let them pass.

A cyclist waiting near the kerb is also seen pausing to give the ducks safe passage. The birds appear unfazed by the halted traffic as they make their way across the road in single file.
