Police said they received multiple calls about parking on a city road this afternoon (Saturday).
Haxby Road was lined with parked cars due to visitors and spectators going to a game at York St John University Sports Park.
A North Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: “We’re asking all visitors to the sports facility to keep pavements, footpaths, and access routes clear at all times.

“Blocking the pavement – even for a short period – creates hazards for pedestrians, wheelchair users, people with pushchairs, and those with visual impairments.
“Obstructing the pavement can force people into the road, putting them at risk. Your cooperation helps keep the area safe and accessible for everyone.”
An officer was sent to deal with the traffic challenges. Another went to the field asking spectators about cars causing an obstruction. Many of the cars were moved.
“After a lengthy period of time some still had not been moved,” police said.
“For those that moved there cars we thank you for your understanding and support.”
