A PLAN to stop drivers taking short cuts through a residential area has been proposed.
Residents in the Spring Bank Road area of Ripon will be asked about making their streets one-way so traffic can only exit on to Palace Road.
It is hoped the move willstop drivers taking short cuts through the area to avoid traffic hold ups near the Clock Tower junction in Palace Road.
Residents tabled a petition to the Harrogate area committee of North Yorkshire County Council.
A highways spokesman said no action would be taken until residents had been fully consulted, although councillors acknowledged it would help solve the problem.
