Residents in Wembley have sent a petition demanding urgent action on speeding and dangerous driving in Lyon Park Avenue
The petition to Brent Council has been signed by more than 100 people, and follows months of talks with council officers.
The council said it will install more signs is looking at further options.
Lead petitioners Kay Carroll and Paul Bambridge along with the ward Councillor for Alperton, Anton Georgiou, had an online meeting with a Brent Council officer to request immediate measures - before the second lockdown ended - such as traffic enforcement and additional 20mph signs and vehicle-activated signs. They discussed a council traffic survey which showed 4,039 speeding vehicles on the road in just one week, some at 40 and 50mph.
