Belisha Beacons in Sheff

Recommended Posts

Strange sometimes you look but you don't observe.

 

Sat having a Pint in the **** Inn at Oughtibridge yesterday evening I noticed that there's still a functioning Belisha Beacon crossing at the bottom of Bridge Hill. Later I noticed the one at the bottom of Carr Road in Deepcar.

 

So, out of interest how many are still left in Sheffield ?

I thought the Pelican crossing and unpainted zebra crossings were pretty much now the norm.

I think there's one on Crookes Valley Road, near the park, going up towards Commonside/Walkley.

Hundreds.

 

I don't think that the "still left" question is relevant.

 

Belisha Beacons are still being put up at Pedestrian Crossings today.

Yes - that one's still there - just before the junction with Harcourt Road.

 

There is one at the bottom of Oxford Street just after the Upperthorpe Road / Albert Terrace crossroads before the right turn to Shipton Street.

Indeed they are - the new one installed just along Rivelin Valley Road a year or two ago is one such.
