fall in figures for deaths & injuries on city’s road network Newport Road, North Cave,

The Chair of Sheffield City Council’s Transport, Regeneration and Climate Policy Committee has reaffirmed the commitment to reducing the number of people killed or seriously injured on the city’s roads. It comes after the latest figures showed a fall of 15 percent in those who died or were seriously injured on Sheffield’s roads. Annual figures published by the Department for Transport show that between January 2024

and December 2024, reported: “As a city 11 people tragically these improved road lost their lives, 244 safety figures show were seriously injured that we are heading in with a further 709 the right direction, but suffering an injury any death or serious across Sheffield’s injury on our roads is 2,500km road one too many. network.

It is as a result of the impact this has on those closest to the victims that we strive to achieve our Vision Zero target, committing to eliminate all fatalities and serious injuries by making our roads the safest they could possibly be.” He added “We are determined to make our roads as safe as possible. With all of this—including more pedestrian crossings, expanded 20mph zones, School Streets to protect

children, community speedwatch groups, and a growing network of segregated cycle links—we’re making real progress. We’re also improving access and safety for pedestrians and, by talking to children across the city in schools about how they can stay safe on our roads, we’re making a real difference. But we can’t do it on our own. We want to work with our communities to help improve road safety in Sheffield even further.
