A new 20mph zone has been proposed for a road in Harold Hill where drivers "regularly" speed.
Hilldene Avenue could soon have a speed limit of 20mph under new Havering Council plans for safety improvements along the road.
The proposals include a reduced speed limit extending along the whole of Hilldene Avenue, speed cushions at regular intervals to ensure speeds stay within the proposed limit, and new signs and road markings.
A new zebra crossing is also planned at Gooshays Drive, on the approach to the Hilldene Avenue/North Hill Drive/Dagnam Park Drive roundabout.
The scheme comes after a council study, which found that speeds of up to 45mph are "regularly" recorded, with up to 1,000 vehicles per hour using the road.
Collision records also showed that there have been 24 crashes leading to injury along Hilldene Avenue between Straight Road and Gooshays Drive over the past five years, three of which were serious.
Havering Council has launched a consultation on the plans, which will be funded by Transport for London (TfL).
If you wish to object or give feedback about the proposals, you can do so in writing to the council’s Senior Schemes Engineer, Traffic and Parking, Town Hall, Main Road, Romford, RM1 3BB.
You can also email schemes@havering.gov.uk, with the reference number QX015 by July 3.
