A new order from the county council could see new yellow lines arrive near you. The new measures are in an effort to prevent cars blocking the road.

New double yellow lines are set to be painted on Harrogate's roads to stop cars waiting on streets and causing a hazard.

A new order by North Yorkshire County Council will see new yellow lines appear on some roads across Harrogate, Pannal and Burn Bridge as well as others being lengthened and shortened.

The council has said the new measures are to encourage road safety and avoid obstructions in some busier areas.

Some of the roads included in the measures are:


  • Green Lane, near Ashville College

  • Harlow Avenue around its junction with Pannal Ash Road, near Rossett School

  • Leeds Road near St George's Road, off the roundabout

  • Arthurs Avenue, near Harrogate Grammar School


The times parking is restricted and whether there will be double or single yellow lines can be found here.

Melisa Burnham, highways area manager at the council, said:

“Traffic regulation orders of this type are commonplace. These orders relating to Harrogate, Knaresborough, Pannal and Burn Bridge are to prevent motor vehicles being left on yellow lines for various reasons, predominantly road safety, by preventing obstructions or regulating vehicle movement or parking.
“All these ordered were publicised and comment invited in April. This included responses from residents.
“The restrictions will come into force at the earliest opportunity, as soon as specialist road marking contractors can undertake the work.”
