Sheffield driving: Speed bumps and 'segregated' crossing planned for Darnall

Sheffield City Council is proposing to put 18ft long, 3ins high, road humps on Effingham Street, Effingham Road and Furnival Road.

Two 60ft speed plateaus are also planned on Wilfrid Road and Staniforth Road, Darnall.

Finally, a ‘signalised, segregated cycle and pedestrian crossing’ is set to be installed on Staniforth Road at its junction with Balfour Road.

The application states: ‘These measures are aimed at controlling speed and improving safety for pedestrians and road users at these locations’.

In November last year, Sheffield City Council announced 19 pedestrian crossings, a 20mph zone, nine ‘bus priority’ measures, and a bike lane to create a £23.68m ‘first-class’ travel network in Attercliffe and Darnall.
