Is this better? The barrier is back to blocking the pavement.

People are back to walking in the road.

Does Sheffield deserve the luxury of a pavement to get to the bus interchange?

This pedestrian-friendly city gets a bit DIY 🛠️

GOOD LUCK to the pedestrians constantly trying to cross to the main entrance of Sheffield Children’s Hospital. 🤞

From the main car park. Or the city centre. Or the tram stop.

Greenland Road in Sheffield is built as a race track for deadly speed. People are regularly seriously injured. People have been killed.

Very GOOD LUCK to everyone who has to cross the 50mph Parkway Drive in Darnall across the exit of a roundabout.

🤞

Good morning and GOOD LUCK to everyone who has to cross Meadow St with no crossings at the junction on Netherthorpe Road. 🤞

What would you like to add to a wait button?

We’re open to ideas…

On 1 July 2008 an 84-year-old woman was killed crossing this slip road to Sheffield Parkway in Handsworth.

17 years later it is still just as dangerous.

But now it has some vital GOOD LUCK signs 🤞

Glad everyone around this crash had enough LUCK to avoid injury.

Do we need more than good luck on Greenland Road?

GOOD LUCK to everyone crossing this road by Lidl on Halifax Road, Sheffield.

Traffic lights for vehicles but people have to guess and run for it. 🤞

Sheffield’s ring road is built for deadly speed.

In 2013 19 year-old Cian Pace was killed when the car he was in crashed near Netherthorpe Primary School.

In 14 years 7 people have lost their lives on the 40mph sections of the ring road. Around 85 more have been seriously injured.

Do you need to cross Catley Road next to Greenland Road in Darnall, Sheffield? Sorry, there are several directions of vehicle traffic that need their go, and there’s no crossing for people.

So, GOOD LUCK! 🤞

GOOD LUCK to pedestrians on Talbot Street, near the entrance to the student block of Park Hill.
July 21, 2025 at 2:29 PM
GOOD LUCK to everyone crossing at Rock Street and Pitsmoor Road where the traffic has lights but you can’t see until vehicles whip around the corner.

Where Archer Road, Bannerdale Road and Abbeydale Road meet and pedestrians are given no option but to take their chances. #sheffield @flockyousquabs.bsky.social

GOOD LUCK to people using this dropped kerb crossing point on Broadfield Road, opposite a ginnel leading towards abbeydale road. It’s near a blind bend that motorists drive round really quickly. 🤞

Today @sheffcitycouncil.bsky.social agreed a new 20mph limit area in Netherthorpe, alongside this road.

It still excludes this lethal road.

Can we say we are trying to achieve Vision Zero?
On 19 October 2015, 24-year-old architecture student Robert Henry was cycling up Crookes Valley Road when he was hit and killed by the driver of a van.

Last week SCC agreed a "safety scheme" here.

The road will continue to have no protected cycle space, and will keep its lethal 30mph speed limit.

Whenever these new crossings at Rockingham St and West St happen it will be great to see!

In May 2018 Naveed Fazal was killed when he apparently lost control of his car at “over 60mph” on Abbeydale Road South.

The coroner couldn’t see how speed was a factor. But did ask SCC to ensure the “speed limit is within safe levels.”

Years later the road continues to enable lethal speed.

Good luck to anyone trying to cross (or drive through) Walkley Bank Road junction with Morley St.

A regular spot for crashes with the wall rebuilt again a year ago.
June 4, 2025 at 1:27 PM
A warm “Good luck” to all pedestrians needing to cross Whitehouse Lane at Langsett Road.

There’s no gap in the traffic for you so hope you can work out when to run for it. 🤞🤞🤞
