Is this better? The barrier is back to blocking the pavement. People are back to walking in the road.

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.

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.

In 2019, 85 year-old June Buckley was crossing Hollinsend Road and was hit with a car. She later died of her injuries. The coroner found the road was unsafe and instructed SCC improve it. SCC added some barrier. Today it still has drivers turning from a 40mph road and no pedestrian phase.

On 9 March 2019 Paul Brummett, 61, was crossing the Prince of Wales Road dual carriageway where there was no suitable crossing and was hit with a car. He later died of his injuries. An SCC analysis of the city's most dangerous locations said it "would be difficult/expensive to treat".
