These are the worst roads in Sutton for speeding

There have been numerous occasions this year where drivers have decided to ignore speed limits.

In some cases, motorists in the county had been caught travelling at speeds up to three times higher than the legal limit.

So recently we asked people on Facebook which roads in Sutton they would like to see a speed camera introduced in.

Below are roads that were mentioned by residents:

1. Gander Green Lane

Gander Green Lane was mentioned several times by our readers, with complaints of the road being used as a rat run.

Sandra Channon said: "It’s so bad between the A217 and A24. We have had people fighting outside our house at the traffic control zooming through and not giving way."

Another reader agreed with Sandra, she said: "l live near the St Anthony’s end and have been here 33-years.

"It’s now used as a rat run, oh let’s see who can get through the width restrictors the quickest."

2. Wrythe Lane

Wrythe Lane has recently seen dangerous driving after a motorcyclist tragically died following a crash on August 5.

Readers agreed that reckless drivers are seen quite often on Bishopsford Road.

Sue Walter said: "It’s a death trap waiting to happen. I live down this road and watch idiots driving like maniacs.

"Its awful to watch."

Another reader said: "The cars are always speeding night and day on the top end of Green Wrythe Lane from Bishopsford Road."

4. Thornton Road

Readers say drivers often speed more than 40mph "despite 20mph painted on the road."

Others also mentioned Hamilton Avenue.
