More double yellow lines have been proposed at four locations in a market town and locals will get their say over the go-ahead.
Framlingham Town Council is preparing proposals for consideration by East Suffolk Council and Suffolk County Council.
The plans follow public consultations held a couple of years ago, when residents raised concerns about safety, visibility and congestion.
There are proposals to introduce restrictions on the eastern side of Fairfield Road, from the substation to opposite the entrance to The Fens.
Yellow lines would continue from the existing restrictions to The Fens on the western side.
The aim is to improve visibility for drivers using both sides of the road around the bend.

At the top of Fore Street, lines are proposed on both sides from the Castle Street junction to the gateway of 75a.
The council says this would improve visibility from Castle Street, help vehicles travelling up Fore Street pull in for traffic coming from Saxmundham Road and ensure painted “NO LEFT TURN” markings can be seen.
"Further restrictions are proposed on either side of the base of Mount Pleasant, extending by two car lengths, to improve visibility and traffic flow.
On College Road, lines are proposed on the primary school side beside the playground, joining existing restrictions," the authority said.
The council says there is currently nothing stopping vehicles parking there.
Residents can suggest other locations by emailing towncouncil@framlingham.com by October 30.
Submissions should include the location, reasons for the restriction, photographs and a simple map.
The planning and highways committee will review them.
The council said town centre parking is already limited and extra restrictions could reduce spaces or move parking pressure to nearby streets.
It added that not all suggestions are likely to proceed.
A Traffic Regulation Order can cost more than £10,000, although several locations can be included in one order.
East Suffolk Council is seeking to coordinate Framlingham’s requirements with other areas.
