CHANGES to a road layout will start this week in a bid to tackle air quality in a busy street.
Pollution levels in Rottingdean have been in breach of the legal limit set by the Government.
From Friday, Brighton and Hove City Council will begin a trial to stop traffic building up in High Street.
A ban on right turns out of West Street will be imposed to prevent cars blocking the road.
And a no stopping zone will be enforced from 66 to 29 High Street.
Meanwhile a temporary chicane will be put in place outside 80-82 High Street giving priority to northbound traffic.
The changes will be in place for up to 18 months.
City council environment chief Councillor Anne Pissaridou said: “The health and wellbeing of our residents is paramount and reductions in vehicle emissions.”
