    No, we are talking South Sheffield ONLY. This is not the place for joined up transport discussion.

     

    And to add, compulsory purchase of property to make wider roads in the afflicted area.

    If I was talking any further South i would be talking about Chesterfield, I know what you mean about compulsory purchase which is a short term and expensive solution. I am talking long term so all that is required is the land that falls into the project cannot be used for any other purposes until the occupants move or die which could be many decades but its there.

    Close down all businesses that are likely to cause traffic or at the very least massive (like quadruple) business rates.

    I would be more likely to tax businesses for every car driver that has a start time of 9am and a finish time of 5pm of £1 per employee per day and 50p per employee that stars at 8.30am and finishes at 4.30pm

    The A57 should be turned West to go straight through the middle of Birley Wood golf course to the junction of Chesterfield Road A61 with Meadowhead and go South of Beauchief acroos Ringinglow before joining up to the A57 after the Rivelin junction. football trophies football medals

  3. If and when you do decide to get an e-bike it is worth considering where you are going to park it as they are hot targets for bike thieves. It is best to remove it from public view altogether and bring it inside a building.

    Well done for looking at alternative transport options.

  4. I know this report is ten years old but pollution in Sheffield is responsible for over 500 premature deaths per year. https://www.envirotech-online.com/news/air-monitoring/6/breaking-news/poor-air-quality-in-sheffield-results-in-500-deaths-every-year/12103

    I personally do not think that the roads have improved since then and only got worse and more congested. How many more lives have been shortened because of recent road works.

  5. Fat people get even fatter when people around them help their habit by feeding them. You must have been thinking about this for some time before asking publicly for others peoples opinions and experiences. Some people can be helped but some people cannot, they are on course for self destruction  and without thought for those around them.

     

    It is very sad to watch someone you love fall apart so cut the ties and remember them as the loving person you remember. 

     

     

  6. The whole of Sheffield's road network is set up restrict or stop as you get closer to the centre with rail bridges, towns, other roads & rivers as natural restrictions. two lanes become one and then you hit the traffic lights. Not one area in Sheffield has a road in or out that you can get from one side of the city to the other without a junction that stops you. No ring road, no fly over, no underpass. It has all been made flat and that costs time, money and has raised pollution levels to there highest ever.  Cycling is dangerous because car drivers that have never cycled don't have a clue what its like for cyclists on the roads  and drive too closely.  I would like to see cycling on the road as part of the driving test. 

  7. What ever we do or think now will take years in planning for the ideas and plans to work. Some day all car drivers will have to surrender their licence and what will they do then?

    It is worth thinking about and doing something about it now so when you do retire or have health problems there is a fit for purpose bus service to be used.

    When I used to drive in the early morning and mid afternoon with the flow of work traffic it wasn't a flowing journey because everyone else is doing the exact same thing at the exact same time. 

    Pollution levels are up and it wont be long before authorities have  got targets and that will means cutting crowded roads by drastic means.

    I watch James May on Youtube and he is often buying cars - his latest two or a Tesla and one of the Toyota hydrogen cars to test between the two. 

     

    He was saying there only a handful of stations in the UK that offer hydrogen refuelling which means you REALLY have to plan where you're going to go with the car and by comparison at the very least, with an electric car you can plug it in to the 3 pin socket and recharge - even if it will take about 2 days.  

    ITM Power which are moving from the Advanced Manufacturing Park to Bessemer Park (Sheffield - not the Rotherham Bessemer Park) on Shepcote Lane next to J34 M1 Meadowhall. Hopefully this Hydrogen producing company will be making more Hydrogen filling faciliites locally.

    Nice compilation Ash. It saddens me when fellow road users don't follow the rules and risk others safety as well as their own. Being mindful of these hazards on our roads is very useful and I thank you for the knowledge without the stress of being in that environment.
