To improve traffic movement, promote road safety, enhance the environment or address inconsistencies with existing parking arrangements. Most of the problems that the measures seek to address have been identified by persons who have experienced difficulties, local members, NYCC officers or by the North Yorkshire Police.

Alternative arrangements were considered at all the individual sites, including not altering the current arrangements at some locations, however on balance the recommendations proposed appeared to best address the concerns raised.
