Pedestrian crossing to be introduced<br />
Sheffield City Council has announced plans to improve<br />
pedestrian safety on Station Road, Halfway, near Halfway<br />
Nursery and Infants School.<br />
The scheme will provide improved pedestrian links within<br />
the community by proposing a new pedestrian crossing<br />
facility, a speed hump to calm traffic and the introduction<br />
of a part time 20mph zone aligned to Halfway Nursery and<br />
Infants School. This will help to reinforce safe driver<br />
behaviour along Station Road during school arrival and<br />
departure times.<br />
Councillor Julie Grocutt, Cabinet Member for Transport<br />
and Development at Sheffield City Council, said:<br />
feedback on this as possible. Please get in touch and share<br />
your views.”<br />
Councillor Tony Downing, Lord Mayor of Sheffield and<br />
Ward Member for <strong>Mosborough</strong>, said:<br />
“I know that this is an issue that local residents, parents<br />
and school staff care deeply about so I’m pleased that we<br />
are moving forward with this scheme. These measures will<br />
improve the safety of people out walking and cycling, as<br />
well as children getting to and from school. I am looking<br />
forward to discussing the plans further with businesses<br />
and residents in the area so that we can get the scheme in<br />
place as soon as possible.”<br />
“We’ve listened to the local community and have agreed<br />
that further action is needed to protect pedestrians using<br />
this busy road. After exploring the different options<br />
available, we have decided to propose a pedestrian<br />
crossing on Station Road with a part time 20mph zone to<br />
operate at the Halfway Infants and Junior School’s arrival<br />
and departure times.<br />
Residents and parents at the school have been contacted<br />
for any additional views they may on the new proposals.<br />
For further information or comments on the proposals<br />

“We know that this is a key route for many people<br />
travelling through the area, so we’d like to gather as much<br />
