Can you tell me what Sheffield's most dangerous road is please?
00:03
I can't really think of one but I feel pretty safe when I'm driving and things like that.
00:09
And when you're a pedestrian as well?
00:11
Yeah, yeah, no, fine.
00:14
Can you tell me please which road in Sheffield you feel is the most dangerous?
00:19
Yeah, around the Bongrieve area, Saville, Attencrive, that area, the road is quite wide
00:26
so some drivers really don't look carefully before they move.
00:31
Do they go too quickly?
00:34
Yeah, they go too quickly, yeah.
00:37
Can you tell me please what you think the most dangerous road is in Sheffield or around Saville?
00:44
Well you can take your pick because the traffic is pretty terrible and the councils have turned a lot of the roads.
00:53
They've blocked them off, they've made them in one way, they've made the town centre inaccessible.
00:57
So there is a lot of traffic now on smaller roads that are congested.
01:03
Whether you describe them as dangerous, they don't know that as a driver, it's frustrating.
01:07
Which road do you feel the least safe on?
01:10
Well, I don't know, it's Sol Road maybe, at Rush Hour.
01:14
Yeah, but you know, anywhere around Netheredge, they've shut quite a few roads down there
01:20
and a lot of the traffic now is spilling out into residential areas and the smaller roads.
01:26
Could you tell me what you think Sheffield's most dangerous road is please?
01:30
I would say City Road. There's not enough crossings on the road.
01:34
From Mallet Top all the way down to the bottom of it, all the way down to Duke Street.
01:41
I can imagine there's one, two, three, four, five, five crossings.
01:52
And if you try to get across City Road, the cars do actually travel far too fast on City Road.
01:59
I think it's the 40 mile an hour limit on City Road, but it should be brought down to 30 because it's a built up area.
02:06
What do you think the most dangerous road is in Sheffield?
02:10
White Smiths Middle Hill.
02:12
White Smiths Middle Hill.
02:13
Car parking, how cars are parked, and the lack of police that are in that area.
