Excessive speeds on Little Bookham Street
Sent to Surrey County Council 1 minute later.
The speeds in which many people travel along Little Bookham Street exceed the 30mph limit and in hundreds of observable cases over 7 years of living here people are travelling well in excess that. Noticeable pinch points are where the road narrows half way down just after Bennett’s Farm Place and when people fail to anticipate cars parked at the side of the road. At times, particularly weekends it can feel like the entire U bend made up of Little Bookham Street and Church Road becomes a race track for cars and motorbikes alike. I believe there have been previous safety concerns about the road and the current solution seems to be a single, lamp post mounted matrix sign warning people if they are exceeding the limit. The road needs proper traffic calming infrastructure and not road tables people can still fly over like on Lower Road. I appreciate it’s on a route to a station (which is part of the problem I suspect) and on a bus route, but it requires more than a light up sign.
