00:14Road traffic has right of way and pedestrians have to wait to cross.

00:18There is no cycling infrastructure to separate cyclists and traffic.

00:29West Bar roundabout will be Sheffield's first Dutch-style roundabout.

00:33Zebra crossings at each arm will give priority to pedestrians, making it safe and easy to cross.

00:40A one-way segregated cycle track moving clockwise around the roundabout will give cyclists priority.

00:46Vehicles will be free-flowing in a steady, controlled space,

00:50improving safety for all using the roundabout.

00:53New planting and landscaping with sustainable drainage

00:56will improve the environment for walking and cycling and mitigate flood risk.
