Sheffield station: New graphic explains confusing road changes as drivers risk £100 fines
Confused drivers continue to break the rules at Sheffield station despite new signs.
Several cars were seen to enter the new £100 no-go zone on Cross Turner Street within a few minutes on Monday.
The errors come despite new signs highlighting new public and private hire pick-up areas on Cross Turner Street, a walk of about three minutes to the ticket office.
An extra sign warns motorists not to cross the junction of Cross Turner Street and Turner Street.
The new public no-go zone is policed by a camera issuing £100 fines. East Midlands Railways last week told The Star it was not yet live and would be turned on in spring.
The changes, and a new one-way system, have been introduced to cut gridlock at busy times.
The new rules (see graphic):
> Only black cabs can stop in the undercover area by the station doors
> The old public set-down area is now a drop-off zone for taxis, private-hire cars and Blue Badge holders only
> Public short-stay bays have been moved to Cross Turner Street, a walk of about three minutes, without luggage, to the ticket office
> Private hire pick-up has been moved to Cross Turner Street
> The approach to the station is now via Fornham Street, not Turner Street
> Access to the Q-Park multi-storey is via Fornham Street only
> A one-way system sees all vehicles leave via Turner Street
