As driving on the other side of the road can be a challenge, it is recommended to opt for a smaller car -- assuming you don’t need much extra space. It will make driving through the city and finding one of the coveted parking spaces easier. Choosing an automatic car can also help with driving on the other side of the road.
The maximum speed limit in Sheffield center is between 20 and 30 mph – look out for posted signs to know which zone you are in. 60-70 mph is permitted on roads outside the city, but reduce your speed if there are leaves on the street or if it is wet. On freeways, drivers can go as fast as 70 mph.
