Speeding calming measures for The Fairway, South Ruislip HA4

We the undersigned petition Hillingdon Council to implement traffic calming measures to reduce speeding on The Fairway, South Ruislip, HA4

Speeding has become a significant issue along The Fairway in South Ruislip, posing a threat to both residents and motorists alike. The increasing number of speeding incidents has highlighted the urgent need for effective traffic calming measures to ensure the safety and well-being of our community.

According to recent statistics from Transport for London, residential areas like ours have seen a surge in speeding complaints. The Fairway, a residential zone, is particularly prone to this problem due to its straight layout and lack of speed deterrents, making it a hotspot for reckless driving which happens on a daily basis at any given time of the day.

This endangers pedestrians, many of whom are children who attend the nearby school and elderly individuals, thereby increasing the risk of accidents and fatalities caused by speeding vehicles.

Communities similar to Ruislip have effectively curbed speeding issues by installing speed bumps, chicanes, or speed cameras. For instance, neighbourhoods in nearby towns saw a 30% reduction in speeding incidents and a significant drop in roadway accidents following the implementation of such measures.

These solutions not only promote slower driving but also encourage responsible road behaviour by visually reminding drivers of the legal speed limits.

We propose the immediate installation of speed-calming measures on The Fairway to protect our families, friends, and neighbours. By doing so, we create a safer, more peaceful environment that respects the needs of local residents and adheres to the safety standards expected in our community.

On reaching 20 signatures it will be formally considered by the Council and relevant Cabinet Member. Local ward Councillors will also be made aware of the petition. The Council's Democratic Services Team will keep the lead petitioner updated on progress.

This ePetition ran from 16/06/2025 to 16/07/2025 and has now finished.
