COUNCILLORS hope new waiting restrictions on two key routes into a town centre will tackle traffic congestion.
Skipton Road and Wetherby Road, in Harrogate, carry nearly 50,000 vehicles a day between them.
The borough council has imposed more no-parking restrictions on the roads in an attempt to make the traffic move more freely.
It said no objections were received to the advertised traffic order.
Councillor Julian Sturdy, cabinet member for public works, said: "Tackling traffic congestion is one of our highest priorities.
"This measure is likely to bring major relief and is just one step on the road to tackling the problem.
"Any driver who has been stuck on one of these roads, or a resident whose life is made difficult because of the sheer volume of motor vehicles using them, will applaud any measures to improve traffic movement."
