Hopes of having mini-roundabouts installed at various locations around Harwich have been dropped.
Harwich Crime Prevention Panel had looked at the idea in an attempt to reduce problems from boy-racers in the area.
However, after speaking to police, the panel has decided to drop the idea.
Chairman Gerald Wallington-Hayes said one of the locations looked at had been Low Road.
Traffic-calming islands had not been put in there to solve the problem.
He said: "Following discussions with police, it was pointed out that this did not really come under our remit and therefore we have decided to quietly drop the matter."
