Under new powers, the council can take action against drivers who fail to follow existing highway restrictions.
A “small minority” of drivers broke the rules and blocked junctions, disrupting the flow of traffic and increasing the risk of collisions, the council spokesperson said.
Automatic number plate recognition cameras would be installed at a number of locations to support compliance with current traffic rules, they added.
Cameras would only enforce restrictions already in place and would be clearly signed, meanwhile there were no plans to introduce new traffic restrictions as part of the programme, the council confirmed.
Councillor Andrew Judson, portfolio holder for economy, regeneration and planning, said the move was a “targeted” approach at locations where problems had persisted.
“Our aim is not to penalise drivers unnecessarily, but to improve compliance, reduce danger and make our roads safer and work better for everyone,” he said.
Bradford Council has also sought people’s views on installing cameras at additional locations, including the Vicar Lane/Bridge Street junction and the junction between Manchester Road and Croft Street.
