Countryside Traffic Management

Rural areas are facing a number of transport problems. These include:

• Infrequent public transport services
• Increasing traffic growth and congestion
• Excessive speeds on many country roads
• Road safety dangers

The Council has developed a Countryside Traffic Management Strategy to address these issues. The strategy was put together by a working group consisting of representatives from Rotherham, Sheffield and Doncaster Councils, South Yorkshire Police, The Countryside Agency and the Campaign to Protect Rural England.
