Continuous speeding vehicles
Reported via mobile in the Obstruction to Highway category anonymously at 18:44, Wed 17 August 2022
Sent to Bromley Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 3762219.
Vehicles are continuously carrying a lot of speed through the road (outside number 2a to number 12) especially as it approaches the mini roundabout. It is daily you hear vehicles screech to a stop at the mini roundabout. We gave had multiple near misses and a few pets hit by cars. There is now more small children in this road and something needs to be done - someone will get hurt.

Thank you for your report.
We seek to moderate the speed of vehicles using our highways with the support of the Police where necessary. We understand public concern regarding road safety issues and as such, we continually monitor road collision records to identify locations where traffic collisions occur. If there are a large number of collisions or a pattern of similar incidents, the location will be investigated to see if safety improvements can be made.
The council’s priority, in line with our Local Implementation Plan, is to reduce killed and serious injury collisions (KSIs) by making improvements in the roads where accidents are actually occurring, rather than perceived risk. However, if low cost measures can be introduced to reduce road danger, these will be considered to help encourage residents to feel able to choose how to travel and to improve quality of life.
The accident record for any road in the borough is available at www.crashmap.co.uk.
Speeding or dangerous driving is an offence punishable by law and enforced by the Police. TfL work in partnership with the police to run Community Roadwatch; a road safety initiative which aims to reduce speeding in residential areas.
