Meadowhead New Football/Rugby Ground Plus More
WarPig replied to bassett one's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Those accidents are the fault of the motorist turning right in front of oncoming moving traffic, because they wrongly assume that traffic are on a red light and will be stopping, when in fact they have a green light. So the right turners are at fault for just pulling out and making the turn without checking if then coming traffic is stopping, or has stopped. -

Did it involve a car turning right from Greenhill Main Road onto Greenmail Ave? -
Protest In Waitrose, Ecclesall Road
WarPig replied to *_ash_*'s topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
You're never going to see a panda car chasing a motorbike, if the bike crashes the police get the blame and the police driver goes to court, risks losing their licence, dangerous driving death by danger out driving etc. Their policy will be to never chase them. Not much they can do really, even if they follow it the bike will soon speed off out of their sight. There isn't really a safe way of stopping a motorbike, so the police car was right to not go after it. -
New Supertram Stop Approved
WarPig replied to SheffieldForum's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Close enough to my house so I could walk to it, but I don't want to be able to see it from my house, obviously. So close to my back yard, but Not In My Back Yard!! -

Never mind giving Rotherham an additional tram stop, lets get the tram to Meadowhead instead! Vote WarPig for Mayor and it will happen. -
Another Big Crash At Meadowhead
WarPig replied to bassett one's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
There are lots of accidents just after/before the roundabout on Greenhill Main Road where it junctions with Greenhill Ave. Traffic coming off the roundabout onto Greenhill Main Road have two lanes, the left one for going straight on and the right lane for turning right onto Gereenhill Ave. At this junction is also a pedestrian crossing. The problem occurs when a car wanting to turn right sees that the traffic lights for the cars to their left who are going straight on, have turned to red. They wrongly assume that the oncoming lane (with traffic coming from Greenhill to the roundabout) is also on a red light and oncoming cars will stop so they can turn right. However they are actually on a green light so wont be stopping. The reason for this is there are actually two separate crossings here, with a paved area in the middle of the road where the pedestrian has to then press the button to continue crossing. Each set of traffic light operates independently, with the pedestrian crossing one lane tan stepping onto the central pavement, and then having to press the button to cross the next lane. So a car turning right sees their carriageway has a red light and thinks it's safe to move forward and make the turn, not realising that oncoming traffic is on a green light. So they set off and are hit by oncoming traffic. I saw it happen the other day with a skip waggon hitting a car turning right across him. I stopped and informed the skip driver of the problem, and so helping him with his insurance claim. -

Though the left hand lane is for turning left only, so doesn't go onto the roundabout. But occasionally someone in that lane wants to go straight on instead of turning left, and don't always realise they are in the wrong lane. -
The downside to a small independent opticians is they tend to be small stores with less choice of frames. Though the Martin Kemp on Herries road looks a decent size store.

Anyone able to recommend a good opticians in Sheffield, one with staff that know how to measure for glasses, offer correct fit and give good advice please? I want to get some varifocals which wont be cheap so I want to buy from somewhere with staff that know there subject.

Yes, when it's raining hard (no bus shelter at my bus stop) and I see the bus going in the other direction towards the terminus, I'm tempted to jump on it. Otherwise a wait of maybe 5-10 mins in the rain. I don't travel often enough to have a multi pass ticket so just pay individual fares.
