RESIDENTS of Ripon are being asked for their views on a proposed traffic-calming scheme for Clotherholme Road, between Filey Avenue and Aislabie Close.
North Yorkshire County Council is proposing the scheme, which includes a pedestrian crossing, flat-top speed tables - a form of extended sleeping policemen - and a 20mph speed limit. It focuses on the safety of students attending Ripon Grammar School and Ripon College.
During the past five years the majority of accidents in the area have involved pedestrian under 16.
The proposed scheme is being funded with help from Ripon City Council. Details of the scheme have been sent to residents and traders in the areas. A plan showing the scheme is on display in the city's library.
People wishing to comment should contact the council by Monday, September 16.
