Councillors say the streets of NR3 have become a race track as drivers try to avoid queues caused by the Heartsease roundabout roadworks during rush hour.
The issue has been getting worse, there have been crashes and folk living in the area say they are worried to cross the road.
Julie Brociek-Coulton, Labour councillor for the Sewell ward, said: “Speeding down Silver Road has gotten really dangerous with drivers far exceeding the 20mph speed limit.
“St Clements Hill near the school is an accident waiting to happen and Bull Close Road often has cars speeding through red lights near the Artichoke pub.

“Even Angel Road with cars parked on both sides has become a rat run.”
Ms Brociek-Coulton thinks this is becoming a bigger problem because people are trying to avoid the roadworks going on at the Heartsease roundabout.

She said: “For the safety of our residents, children, pets and cyclists we need people to stop driving too fast.
“Remember there are lots of children walking home from school, so please drive carefully for everyone's sake.”
Gary Champion, Green Party councillor for Sewell ward, is also worried about the safety of people living in the area.

He said: “We have had numerous people speak to us about cars speeding on roads such as Sliver Road, Denmark Road and up Constitution Hill.
“This makes roads in our area dangerous, not only especially for children, disabled or elderly residents but also for pets and wildlife.”
Mr Champion also believes the issue is in light of the roadworks at the Heartsease roundabout and said that if this isn’t dealt with by the authorities people will have to put up with the increasingly dangerous driving until April.
He said: “If the resources were there and this was a police priority, I think the speeding would be reduced.”
