More than 200 residents have signed a petition demanding speed cameras on a section of the South Bristol Link Road.
Householders fear for the safety of pedestrians and cyclists and say motorists routinely flout the 30mph limit.
Bishopsworth Tory Cllr Richard Eddy will present the petition, which has 223 signatures, at a full council meeting of Bristol City Council on Tuesday (March 17).
Campaigners hope it will reduce drivers’ speed in the residential area along the road, which was completed three years ago.
Carol Smart, of King Georges Road, said: “There is a total disregard for the 30mph speed limit most of the day but especially at night.
“It can be very difficult for residents to cross the road and the speeding makes it very dangerous and noisy for householders.”
Mary Walker, who lives in Highridge Green and helped coordinate the petition, said: “A speed camera would slow vehicles down from over 40mph to 30mph as they travel through a heavily populated area.
“Residents have great difficulty gaining access in and out of their properties due to the current speed of traffic.
“Vehicles often speed at night and weekends.
“If they kept to the speed limit, the noise pollution would be at acceptable levels.”
Cllr Eddy said: “While the South Bristol Link Road has undoubtedly reduced rat-runs and traffic elsewhere in Bishopsworth, the situation for the residents of King Georges Road and southern Highridge Green is appalling.
“The request for speed cameras will, if granted, deter speeding and improve both the safety and noise-pollution levels.”
The council maintains the road and is responsible for public safety while Avon & Somerset Police install and supervise speed cameras.
