Traffic calming measures will be installed on a Gipton estate to help keep people safe from car accidents.

Speed humps will be introduced on part of Amberton Road to help enforce a 20mph speed limit and help tackle speeding drivers.

A council report said: “By reducing average traffic speeds with the traffic calming proposed, we can significantly decrease the amount of time vehicles spend idling, which is a major contributor to emissions.”

Highways officers rejected two objections over noise from the speed humps, along with slowing emergency services.

The report said: “Emergency services have been consulted throughout the development of the scheme and have not objected to the proposal.”

The measures should be in place by the end of this month (March).
