Road speed bumps are to be removed from a village in East Yorkshire after a three-year campaign by residents. Villagers in Cottingham, near Hull, repeatedly asked the council to remove the bumps because of the noise heavy vehicles made driving over them.
East Riding of Yorkshire Council has agreed to replace the bumps with new road markings. Work starts on Thursday.
Other safety measures in the village, including a 20mph zone in the village centre, will be retained.
Cottingham North councillor Peter Faulkner said the bumps had done nothing but frustrate motorists and cause noise distress to residents.
"We support measures which improve road safety and protect pedestrians, but the humps do neither," he said.
