It will be legally enforceable, although it is thought unlikely the police will do so. Taxi drivers are also trying to get a judicial review in an effort to stop the go-slow solution.
Road markings and signs have been installed across the the city.
The council says it hopes to reduce the number of crashes and casualties, improve traffic flow and making the city a "safer and better place to live in".

Sussex Police officers on patrol found the damaged buildings at around 4.30am on the morning of 25 March 2013.

"We are keen to speak to anyone who was in the area between 1am and 1.30am and may have seen two boys shoulder charging the beach hut doors. We are particularly keen to hear from a cyclist with a dog in tow who is seen on CCTV to momentarily disturb one of the suspects.
"We will be continuing with local enquires and the viewing of CCTV from the area. Officers will be actively patrolling the area over the coming nights to prevent any further criminal damage to the huts.
"Several locks belonging to some of the huts were found scattered on the Pitch and Putt green - again we would like to hear from anyone who saw anyone throwing the broken locks onto the green.
"Anyone with information can telephone 101 quoting serial 0065 of 25/3. Alternatively witnesses can get in touch anonymously through the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
