I walk my kids to school every day, and people drive at least 30mph on Endcliffe Vale Road. There’s kids everywhere and it’s so dangerous.

I come to Sheffield frequently and love meeting my grandsons from school - except for the traffic.

I walk and run to work which is over 8 miles a day. I think Sheffield roads are dangerous largely because of speeding and parking. Pavements are often blocked by parked cars. There is also significant air pollution from ICE vehicles. I think 20mph on all roads would be helpful to make the environment safer for pedestrians and cyclists and hopefully quieter and less polluted.

People drive too fast up Dobcroft Road. This is a school walking route and a bus route.
Our cat was knocked down and died last week on this road.

Dobcroft Road is used as a ratrun. It's astonishing there hasn't been a fatal or seriois accident.

I am shocked by the number of deaths and serious injuries caused by cars on our roads. Not only is it safer but also pollution levels are less.

As an aging driver I would feel safer and more confident if all vehicles were moving more slowly. As an aging pedestrian - which we all are at some points in the day! - I would feel safer crossing roads etc if traffic was moving more slowly and considerately!

Consistency is helpful and important. We have a hodge-lodge of 20 / 30 / 40 mph

We experienced this restriction in Wales and it was great. Much more calm in the villages and towns.

Having seen the benefits of the 20mph limit in London, I am keen for Sheffield to have calmer and safer roads. The emphasis needs to move from car culture to people culture which will bring life back to our streets and communities.

This is so important. The Council are about to introduce a 20mph scheme in my area, but the roads with the most accidents, like Shrewsbury Road, Talbot Street, Duke Street, City Road and Granville Road are all missed out. To reduce accidents, save lives and save the NHS money, we need 20mph limits on main roads.

Traffic generally moves too fast and drivers are a poor judge of broader road safety because they usually just think of themselves and other vehicles, and not unexpected movements of other vulnerable road users. I am a driver and find traffic flows better in 20s and there shouldn't be any need to go faster except on purpose designed roads like the Parkway

This policy is outdated and is preventing speed limit reductions on roads with the most fatalities. People live on these roads and they are as much residential and a part of our communities as any other. Neighbourhood health, walkability, and our sense of physical safety on the streets should be basic priorities and never second to vehicular throughout. Changing this policy means SCC’s highways department can act more sensibly and they can help Sheffield’s road system to lurch out of the 1970s.
