Very GOOD LUCK to everyone who has to cross the 50mph Parkway Drive in Darnall across the exit of a roundabout.

🤞

Good morning and GOOD LUCK to everyone who has to cross Meadow St with no crossings at the junction on Netherthorpe Road. 🤞

A pedestrian wait button which says “push button wait for” and other labels added saying “a star to fall”, “cows to come home”, “Godot”, “ever and a day”, “an absolution”

What would you like to add to a wait button?

We’re open to ideas…

A red sticker saying pedestrians good luck in front of pedestrian obstacle course of barriers and blurring traffic passing. It is dark and lights are on.

On 1 July 2008 an 84-year-old woman was killed crossing this slip road to Sheffield Parkway in Handsworth.

17 years later it is still just as dangerous.

But now it has some vital GOOD LUCK signs 🤞

Glad everyone around this crash had enough LUCK to avoid injury.

Do we need more than good luck on Greenland Road?

GOOD LUCK to everyone crossing this road by Lidl on Halifax Road, Sheffield.

Traffic lights for vehicles but people have to guess and run for it. 🤞

Speed limit sign saying 40 kills. Behind a dual carriageway Road with two lanes of cars and school building and flats

Sheffield’s ring road is built for deadly speed.

In 2013 19 year-old Cian Pace was killed when the car he was in crashed near Netherthorpe Primary School.

In 14 years 7 people have lost their lives on the 40mph sections of the ring road. Around 85 more have been seriously injured.

Black post with red sticker saying “pedestrians good luck”. Beyond is a large road junction with traffic lights and moving vehicles

Do you need to cross Catley Road next to Greenland Road in Darnall, Sheffield? Sorry, there are several directions of vehicle traffic that need their go, and there’s no crossing for people.

So, GOOD LUCK! 🤞

GOOD LUCK to everyone crossing at Rock Street and Pitsmoor Road where the traffic has lights but you can’t see until vehicles whip around the corner.

Where Archer Road, Bannerdale Road and Abbeydale Road meet and pedestrians are given no option but to take their chances. #sheffield @flockyousquabs.bsky.social

Black bollard with road in background and ginnel on other side

GOOD LUCK to people using this dropped kerb crossing point on Broadfield Road, opposite a ginnel leading towards abbeydale road. It’s near a blind bend that motorists drive round really quickly. 🤞

Today @sheffcitycouncil.bsky.social agreed a new 20mph limit area in Netherthorpe, alongside this road.

It still excludes this lethal road.

Can we say we are trying to achieve Vision Zero?

Whenever these new crossings at Rockingham St and West St happen it will be great to see!

Red car speeding past on a wide straight road with two people walking on a pavement beside it and a speed limit sign saying “40 kills”

In May 2018 Naveed Fazal was killed when he apparently lost control of his car at “over 60mph” on Abbeydale Road South.

The coroner couldn’t see how speed was a factor. But did ask SCC to ensure the “speed limit is within safe levels.”

Years later the road continues to enable lethal speed.

A warm “Good luck” to all pedestrians needing to cross Whitehouse Lane at Langsett Road.

There’s no gap in the traffic for you so hope you can work out when to run for it. 🤞🤞🤞

Yes, it has been reported

The “FOOTWAY CLOSED” sign is as good as it gets

Sunny blue sky day with a dug up pavement and footway closed sign on temporary plastic barriers blocking the path. Cars drive past on the unobstructed carriageway.

People walking and wheeling on Cooks Wood Road! Have you thought of flying 🕊️?

Otherwise you can take your chances in the traffic.

GOOD LUCK! 🤞
