Sheffield City Centre Traffic Crisis

Background

Review and remove unnecessary bus lanes where they cause avoidable traffic congestion, while increasing city-centre parking capacity. Ensure disabled parking remains accessible, but avoid unnecessarily reducing general parking where alternatives can be provided.

Additional details

Drivers and businesses are being left frustrated by unnecessary traffic restrictions, long delays and a lack of practical city-centre parking. This petition calls for an urgent review of bus lanes that are underused or unnecessarily restrict traffic, with removal or repurposing where evidence shows they are not needed. It also calls for more accessible city-centre parking, while fully protecting disabled spaces. Policies should reduce gridlock, not make everyday journeys harder.
