Neighbours living near a school in the city said safety road measures have made the area "more dangerous".
Notintone Street in Sneinton Dale has been restricted to drivers as part of Nottingham City Council's aim to make roads outside schools safer.
The scheme was introduced in November 2021 at 11 schools across the city, including William Booth in Sneinton.
Over February and March the barriers have been supervised by enumerators and road safety staff on five mornings at school arrival times and five afternoons at school departure times.
Now, the city council are looking to be launching an online survey inviting parents, school staff, local residents and local businesses to provide feedback on the School Street scheme.
Business owners and regulars to the Sneinton area however have already voiced their concerns over the scheme.
Esther Adeyemi, who has been running her business Beauty Exclusive on Sneinton Road for nine years, said: "Since they closed that street, there has been even more congestion.
"That is because parents rush in the morning and use alternative roads that are already busy.
"It is even more dangerous now."
The 49-year-old added: "I think they should make it a one-way street.
"This way it would be less congestion and probably safer for the children too."
Adrian Wilson, a resident in Sneinton, said the barriers are a "physical danger".
The 72-year-old added: "If the driver wants to turn left and does not know they are there he could crash.
"They are a physical danger.
"Blocking a street does not help the safety of others," he added.
Kaleem Ahmed, who works at a family business on Sneinton Road has echoed everyone's concerns about the measures, adding: "I just think it was better before, the traffic was a lot smoother.
"Not everyone respects the rules anyway and that is causing even more congestion at times.
"People are more in a rush now because they have to be quick to drop off their children in the morning.
"And that is potentially more dangerous."
The 23-year-old added: "I think it helps to have people supervising the street though.
"You can tell that people drive more carefully when they are around."
Chris Winters, a retired resident on the same street, added: "It is a nightmare to be fair.
"It got more congested since they put that in."
The 77-year-old, who has lived in the area for nearly 50 years, added: "Whenever my children visit me they have got nowhere to park.
"I think it is getting more dangerous."
A Nottingham City Council spokesperson said: “We’ve implemented car-free School Streets schemes outside a number of schools in the city in a bid to create a safer environment for parents and children.
“We can’t prevent traffic on the school run but we hope that, by working with parents and carers, we can encourage people to be careful and considerate.
“Everyone can help by making even small changes. This might be avoiding travelling at busy times or choosing to walk, cycle or take public transport instead. We understand that some people have to drive, but might be able to take a slightly different route that avoids the areas around schools.
“There is an online survey which people can take part in here to offer their views until 1 April.”
