We’re cracking down on private car operators in Sheffield. If they don’t follow the rules then we will fine and shut them down.
And the Labour Government is bringing in tough new standards to clean up the industry

Sheffield will be the UK’s biggest city to trial side-road zebra crossings — simple, low-cost changes to make streets safer. We’re already leading Yorkshire on School Streets. This is the next step.

Sheffield set to become UK's biggest city to trial new zebra crossings, hoping to boost active travel and cut road deaths
The new crossings are a hundred times cheaper than traditional zebras, but are not currently recommended by the Department for Transport.
