A local lane has been turned into "Wacky Races" as motorists ignore parking rules.
Bradford councillors drew comparisons between the notorious cartoon and the lane as cars were seen scattered across pavements, ignoring parking regulations.
Members of the district planning panel heard that motorists on Toller Lane are creating hazardous conditions.
The comparison to the 1960s Hanna-Barbera animated series emerged as councillors examined a planning application for a residential property.

Conservative councillor Paul Sullivan, who presented photographic evidence of vehicles stationed on double yellow lines, said: "I know this road very well and driving there is like Wacky Races at the best of times."
The remarks highlighted widespread concerns about driver behaviour in the area.
The planning application under scrutiny involved creating a parking space at 285 Toller Lane through garden excavation.
Access would be established via a dropped kerb on Baslow Grove, positioned close to where it meets Toller Lane.
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS
Sullivan emphasised that numerous drivers showed complete disregard for the existing regulations on the street.
Highway safety experts raised significant objections to the proposal during the meeting.
Officers highlighted that the planned dropped kerb would sit merely three metres from the junction where Baslow Grove meets Toller Lane.
This distance falls dramatically short of the standard safety requirement of 15 metres typically mandated for such developments.

The planning report presented to committee members stated: "The proposed development would result in an unsafe and poorly sited means of site ingress and egress located close to the junction of Baslow Grove with Toller Lane."
Officials warned the scheme would "cause severe harm to highways safety", leading planning officers to recommend rejection of the application.
Despite the safety warnings, committee members reached a split decision on the proposal.
Planning officer Andrew Moxon revealed that some of these installations had been completed "without authorisation".
