Councillor Andrew Carter (Cons, Calverley and Farsley) said: "I'm pleased that this new order has been approved and I'm sure that residents living in the area will appreciate the drop in traffic.
"It's important that we continue to develop schemes like this that can make a difference to residents' quality of life."
Coun Joe Marjoram (Cons, Calverley and Farsley) added: "Rat-running is a real nuisance.
"It leads to more traffic on roads that weren't designed to take it and this can be dangerous for residents.
"It's right that we try to prevent cars using such streets to skip queues on main roads."
