City of York Council traffic restriction changes unveiled

A total of 42 proposals to change existing traffic regulation orders (TROs), including double yellow lines and residential parking (ResPark) restrictions, are set to be considered for approval.

A City of York Council report stated the proposals had been drawn up in response to issues including parking on footpaths, obstructing bus routes and other safety concerns.

It added there was a risk that some of the proposals would create issues for other residents if they are approved.

It comes after the council advertised a total of 85 proposed restriction changes in October.

The 43 proposals that did not receive any objections are set to be enacted, with the remaining 42 set to be decided at a transport hearing on Tuesday, April 28.
