A "quiet lane" in Seamer is receiving better signposting.
Long Lane is a single track carriageway which is used by pedestrians, cyclists, riders and drivers.
It was designated a Quiet Lane in 2009, meaning users need to pay special attention to the needs of walkers, cyclists, horse riders and the mobility impaired.
However, shared use has led to conflict between drivers and other users, particularly at peak times when many children are walking and cycling.
Now, new gateway signs have been installed to highlight the zone
The County Councillor for Seamer is David Jeffels.
In order to improve safety of the lane, signage ‘gateways’ have now been placed in the grass verges at each end of Long Lane in Seamer, giving a visual cue to support increased awareness for drivers and a safe, shared space for people to walk, cycle and ride.
Chair of the parish council, Linda Wallace, says the new enhanced signposting is welcome.
Jonathan Wanless, Headteacher at Seamer & Irton Community Primary School, said:
“Long Lane is a key access route for our pupils coming from the Crossgates estate to the school at Seamer.
“Most of our pupils live in Crossgates and we actively encourage them to walk, scoot and cycle to and from school each day. It is part of our School Travel Plan and we teach our pupils to cycle safely through the Bikeability scheme each year.
“I am strongly in favour of anything that reduces the congestion around the school and makes the journey to school healthy and safe.”
