24 7 Parking Report On Traffic Easing Measures Proposed For Sheffield Area

London, England (January 29, 2010) - 24 7 parking, experts in finding affordable long term parking in London and around the UK, comment on congestion-easing proposals which have been outlined for the Ecclesall area in Sheffield.

The Ecclesall Smart Route scheme, which covers Bents Green and Ecclesall, is being proposed to try and ease traffic congestion in the suburb which is mainly caused by bottleneck roads. Changes that are looking to be introduced are new pedestrian crossing in the area, the widening of junctions and relocation of bus stops.

Residents and commuters were asked to supply their views on the area to Sheffield Council, and suggestions included widening Ringinglow Road near the Trap Lane junction, widening the junction at Bents Road to remove bottlenecks, creating parking spaces at Bents Green Road, Trap Lane and Ringinglow Road, creating pedestrian crossings on Ringinglow Road, relocating the bus stop near Bents Green Methodist Church, a new bus stop closer to the junction of Ecclesall Road South and more measures besides.

"Bottlenecks are a real nuisance and it appears that there are a lot of them around the Ecclesall area of Sheffield," said Peter Cooper of 24 7 Parking. "The area as well can greatly benefit from the new parking spaces announced. People parking on narrow roads are a notorious cause for traffic congestion and are the main areas that traffic wardens focus on when issuing parking tickets and fines. 24 7 Parking has parking solutions available in Sheffield and customers can contact us if they're looking for affordable and safe parking in the Sheffield area."
