Double yellow lines could be introduced along a street in Tring in a bid to combat parking problems.
Highways chiefs at Hertfordshire County Council are considering the restrictions along parts of Akeman Street to prevent cars clogging up the road.
Spokesman for the council Josie Judge said: "This is in order to allow the traffic to flow more fr
eely as there has been a problem for some time, mainly in the evenings, where drivers park to use the local amenities and cause a bottleneck. A 'no waiting at anytime restriction' would help to ease this problem.
"We are aware that there are retail outlets in this area and would aim to find some middle ground."
Police have started issuing fines to drivers who cause an obstruction by parking badly and people visiting businesses in the street have been advised to use nearby car parks and walk to their destination.
The yellow lines would run from the police station in High Street down Akeman Street and come to a stop opposite Oak Lawns. On the other side of the road restrictions would run from Oak Lawns to Clement Place and there would also be a small area of double yellow lines opposite the police station covering about 16 metres.
Ms Judge stressed that these measures are only proposals and any changes would first be formally advertised and a public consultation held.
