Hessle Ward councillor David Nolan said this type of incident has happened before and called for a bollard to be put in place on Ferry Road.
“It looks funny but it must be quite scary for the people involved,” Nolan said.
“There is a ‘no vehicle entry’ sign on Ferry Road, before you get into the footbridge.
“Some drivers ignore it, drive over the footbridge and then go into a spiral, which eventually ends up to a bollard and it’d be impossible to reverse back out.”
Nolan said he would be asking East Riding of Yorkshire Council to put a bollard on Ferry Road to prevent further incidents.
East Riding of Yorkshire Council has been contacted for a response.
