The proposed restrictions sought to mitigate the impact of potentially obstructive on-street parking on and around the junctions.
It was also necessary to extend the existing waiting restrictions on Main Street to maintain adequate access and turning space for large agricultural vehicles and prevent footway parking outside Long Whatton Primary School and Community Centre.
The proposals also include implementing a Bus Stop Clearway on Main Street.
The proposed restrictions sought to benefit the safety for all road users in this location and the scheme was proposed on the grounds of road safety.
