York drivers face speed limit changes and new restrictions

The changes, proposed by the City of York Council, include prohibiting certain vehicle movements at junctions and altering speed limits in specific locations.

At the junction of Grimston Lane and Eastfield Lane in Dunnington, vehicles will no longer be allowed to turn right from Grimston Lane into Eastfield Lane.

Similarly, at the junction of Tea Room Square and Station Road in York, right turns from Tea Room Square into Station Road will be banned.

Church Lane in Dunnington will become a one-way street, allowing only north-west travel from its junction with York Street to its junction with Pear Tree Lane.

Speed limits will also be adjusted under the new proposals.
