Despite the 20-mph speed restriction on the road, vehicles
regularly travel at speeds exceeding 50 mph. This is exacerbated at
night where some road users appear to be using the street to test
high speed cars. This causes both a significant risk to residents
and other road users, as well as substantial noise pollution at
unsociable hours. A recent accident, where there was a head-on
collision between unlicensed drivers, was reported to the Police
following the use of the street as a racetrack between the hours of
3 and 4am.
There are many families with small children on this street that
fear their children using the road for play or active travel.
Our recommendation is that at a minimum the speed reduction
mechanisms introduced should include traffic calming devices to
slow speeds (speed bumps, traffic thresholds, sleeping policemen or
speed breakers).
