Crookes and Walkley Active Travel Neighbourhood to be made permanent
On Wednesday 20 September 2023, Sheffield City Council’s Transport, Regeneration and Climate Policy Committee considered proposals to introduce the active travel neighbourhoods in Crookes and Walkley on a permanent basis.
Reports to the Committee outlined the schemes’ delivery, their impact and public consultation results, and the Committee approved the proposals to implement the schemes permanently.
The Crookes scheme includes:
- Changes to vehicle access on parts of Hands Road and Newent Lane
- A School Street allowing access for pedestrians and cyclists only – except for authorised vehicles and permit holders – at Westways Primary School, which affects Mona Avenue and Mona Road during school drop off and pick up times
- No waiting at any time on parts of Cobden Place, Cobden View Road, Hands Road, Leamington Street, Matlock Road, Melbourn Road, Mona Avenue, Pickmere Road, Romsdal Road, Sackville Road, Slinn Street, Townend Street and Warwick Terrace
- No waiting Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on part of Western Road
- Amendments to permit holder parking places on Crookesmoor Road
- Pedestrian crossings at Crookesmoor Road and Crookes (near School Road)
The Walkley scheme includes:
- Changes to vehicle access on parts of Fir Street, Highton Street and Matlock Road
- One way on parts of Greenhow Street and Heavygate Avenue
- No waiting at any time on Camm Street, Greenhow Street, Heavygate Avenue, Highton Street, Matlock Road
- Pedestrian crossings at Heavygate Road
You can view the report that the Committee considered online, and there is more information in our news release.
We’ll publish more information on the permanent schemes here and our programme of works soon.
Traffic monitoring data document
In order to monitor and evaluate the success of the active neighbourhood, we’ve conducted traffic monitoring surveys at a number of junctions around the route and the surrounding areas. These surveys capture the movements of motorised vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians between each arm of the junction.
We have also worked with The Floow, specialists in black-box telematics data, to better understand traffic flows around the active neighbourhood. This data includes journey times, estimated traffic flows, traffic speeds and concentrations of through traffic.
