It is unacceptable that communities have to take to the streets to voice concern over motorists who speed through their neighbourhoods. The lives of all residents, especially children, are at constant risk and at the mercy of speeding cars.

The Sydenham/Sparks Estate residents have endured speeding cars and reckless drivers for far too long. There are many such neighbourhoods which have a mix of residents, children, schools, houses of worship and businesses, which endure such irresponsible road use.

Our roads, especially through residential/built-up areas, must be safe at all times. Conveyance is essential and roads are made for this purpose.

There is an urgent need for visible traffic control and policing in not only the said area but all areas which experience such reckless driving.

The relevant authorities must enforce the law and impose heavy fines on all who speed and flout traffic laws on all our roads.
