00:04The new scheme will allow for improved pedestrian, cycle and vehicle movements.
00:10Current issues affecting West Bar roundabout are
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.
00:23Here's how we're improving pedestrian, cycle and vehicle movements at West Bar roundabout.
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.
01:01New planting will link to and extend established planting from the Greater Green Project at Snigg Hill.
