Three roads in Romford are set for safety improvements after drivers were found speeding "regularly".
Havering Council has proposed a safety improvement scheme for Collier Row Road, Hog Hill Road and Squirrels Heath Road in an attempt to reduce crashes.
The plans include speed cushions - small square speed bumps - at regular intervals along all three roads, and three new zebra crossings.
One of these crossings is proposed near the mini roundabout where Collier Row Road meets Lodge Lane, while the other two are set to be installed along Squirrels Heath Road, by Douglas Avenue and between Cotswold Road and Recreation Avenue.
Havering Council said the scheme aims to "bring speeds down to an acceptable level" and to help pedestrians, particularly school children and shoppers, to cross the road safely in these locations.
It follows a council study which found that up to 1,200 vehicles use Squirrels Heath Road, and up to 1,900 vehicles use Collier Row Road, every hour - with speeds of 45 mph "regularly recorded" on both 30mph roads.
The council's analysis of collision records also showed that there have been 28 crashes which led to injury along Collier Row Road and Hog Hill Road, and 14 along Squirrels Heath Road, between Southend Arterial Road and Gubbins Lane.
It is not clear over what time period these were recorded.
The proposed safety improvements are being funded by Transport for London (TfL).
A consultation has now been launched on the schemes, with residents invited to share their views until April 17 by emailing schemes@havering.gov.uk.
