They’ve received reports of people speeding down Gloucester Road to bypass traffic on the A205 and rejoin Kew Green.
The force says they’re going to carry out “speed ops”, but they will be “infrequent”.
Richmond Council said:
The Council has carried out surveys and the majority of people using this road are abiding by the speed limit. We have therefore not found that further intervention from the Council is required at this time, particularly as any traffic calming measures would have implications for other roads users (including cyclists and emergency services) and would likely displace traffic to neighbouring roads. We will continue to monitor this road and consider it for future traffic schemes. We are grateful for the police for considering additional operations in this area in order to catch those few people who are speeding and posing a danger to residents and other road users.
