Traffic is moving as normal in the Harrogate district during rush hour this morning.
However, some roadworks remain in place in parts of the district.
Here is your Stray Ferret traffic update.
Roads
Temporary traffic lights on the A61 near Daleside Nurseries in Killinghall remain in place. Drivers should expect delays in the area this morning.
The lights have been put in place by Yorkshire Water and will remain until October 20.
Northern Gas Networks is still carrying out work on the A661 Harrogate Road near Spofforth.
Traffic light signals are in place in the area, which may cause delays heading towards Wetherby and Harrogate.
In Harrogate town centre, long-term work on Crescent Road means motorists are unable to turn left at the Parliament Street junction. Traffic coming the opposite way on Ripon Road is unable to turn right.
Work to to reconstruct the B6265 at Red Brae Bank, Bewerley, near Pateley Bridge, has been delayed and is now expected to start on Monday (October 24)
North Yorkshire County Council said this is so the authority can “finalise legal arrangements around access across private land to facilitate the work”.

The scheme requires the road to be closed and a diversion will be in place via Pateley Bridge; the B6451 Dacre; Menwith Hill Road; Duck Street and Greenhow Hill village. Temporary traffic lights will be in place during the remainder of the work.
Also, lights will be installed on the B6265 at Red Brae Bank, Bewerley. The road suffered a landslip during storms in February 2020 and a weight limit has been in place since.
It was expected that the work will be carried out until December 9.
Details of the scheme are here.
