New residents parking zones could soon be created in Bishopston, St Andrews, St Werburghs and Ashley Down.
The four areas were proposed when RPS schemes were introduced in Bristol more than a decade ago but have not so far been implemented.
The aim of the zones is to prevent commuters from parking in residential areas.
A report to the city council’s transport policy committee last month said the schemes could be funded by income from fines for breaches of the clean air zone regulations.
The report said: “Residents parking schemes have been in place across parts of Bristol for over 10 years. Since the initial batch of schemes were implemented no further schemes have been delivered aside from minor stand-alone schemes or small extensions for specific purposes.
“Residents parking schemes aim to reduce car use by restricting parking options for commuter traffic. They are focused on areas around the city centre where commuters may seek to drive in from further afield and park before continuing to their place of work or other destinations such as shopping and leisure.”
The report said that as well as areas proposed originally, other places now under consideration were roads close to Southmead Hospital and the new Brabazon arena as well as near the Downs.
Head of city transport Adam Crowther said a decision paper would be brought to the committee in the autumn.
