Council highways officers have overruled an objection to a scheme aiming to make Armley’s roads safer.
No waiting at any time restrictions and a disabled parking bay are set to be introduced around the junction of Halliday Avenue with Armley Ridge Road.
There was one local objection, which raised concerns that cars could be displaced elsewhere. The objector also commissioned a traffic consultancy to evaluate the proposals.
A council report says the wider scheme addresses several key traffic issues around the Armley ward, including obstructive parking and providing a safer environment for the public.
The report says the restrictions will help restore sight lines for vehicles entering and exiting the junction of Halliday Avenue, while preventing vehicles from parking in ways that cause obstructions, delays, or safety issues on the public highway.
It added: “The proposals will displace a small number of vehicles throughout the nearby area as parking is removed, but this negative is mitigated by the benefits described above.”
Armley councillors are also in support of the scheme.
The city solicitor will now make, seal and implement the order.
