A one-way system introduced in a Somerset town is to be altered after a consultation in which 72% of respondents - more than 1,300 people - backed restoring two-way traffic.
Somerset Council said the change to the Celebration Mile in Bridgwater only affect East Quay and Salmon Parade, and will not affect the rest of the scheme.
The decision comes despite a report finding no evidence that the current scheme is causing congestion, as has been claimed by the local MP.
The changes are expected to include new pedestrian crossings to reduce the risk of collisions between vehicles and pedestrians.
Bill Revans, the Liberal Democrat leader of Somerset Council, said: "My personal view is that this mitigation should take place on the East Quay side of the junction, in keeping with the Celebration Mile vision and the Town Deal aspirations of pedestrian priority.
"It may well be that in the future, when Bridgwater traffic is not subject to the extra pressures of Hinkley Point C construction traffic, the East Quay area could mirror the West Quay."
The Celebration Mile was designed to prioritise pedestrians and improve the route between Bridgwater railway station and the docks.
The changes are expected to include new pedestrian crossings to reduce the risk of conflict between vehicles and pedestrians.
Up to £560,000 in funding could also be used for safety measures at the Town Bridge junction.
Ashley Fox, the Conservative MP for Bridgwater said he is "delighted with the decision" which he described as "long overdue".
He added the current system had increased congestion around Bridgwater "this one way system has caused increased congestion around Bridgwater and it's made getting into the centre of town more difficult."
"It's going to make a small but measurable difference."
