Sheffield City Council has earmarked over £3m to improve pedestrian crossings across city.
The proposals form part of Sheffield City Council’s ambition to cut the number of deaths on the city’s roads down to zero while, at the same time, making the area a more attractive place to walk and cycle around.
The plans include the continued expansion of 20mph zones, local safety enhancements, improvements to Public Right of Ways and enhancements to the cycling network.
Chair of the transport, regeneration and climate policy committee at Sheffield City Council Ben Miskell said: Sheffield is a fantastic city, it’s a changing city with incredible regeneration happening right across it, but in order for the transformation to work and really reach its full potential, we need to improve how people get around.
“This investment forms a crucial part of that process, making it safer, easier and more convenient for people to walk and cycle around.
Installing more pedestrian crossings, more 20mph zones and improving Public Right of Ways, along with continuing the cycling infrastructure, will really help achieve that goal.”
Achievements and innovations in road safety will be recognised and celebrated at the fourth annual CiTTi Awards on 25 November 2025 at De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms in London. Visit www.cittiawards.co.uk to learn more about this unmissable event for the UK’s transportation sector!
