Crash leads to speed limit calls
14/05/2007
Residents living near a main road in Leicester have said more people will be killed unless measures are brought in to stop vehicles speeding.
Ricky Singh Kler, 20, from Thurnby Lodge, Leicester, was killed when his car collided with two others on Scraptoft Lane on 5 May.
Local people have called for traffic signals or pedestrian crossings.
But the city council said measures were not warranted because there had been so few accidents on the road.
Newly-elected councillor for Humberstone and Hamilton Barbara Anne Potter said: "We've got lots of new houses being built and Scraptoft Lane has become one of the main roads to get into the city. "There've been several accidents. Last week some of the residents were distraught at witnessing the crash when the young boy was killed."
She said residents were insisting that some form of traffic-calming measures should be introduced. "One death is far too many," she added.
Leicester City Council issued a statement which said there had been two accidents on Scraptoft Lane between January 2004 and December 2006 resulting in one death and two slight injuries.
"Scraptoft Lane is not on the priority list for traffic calming because there has been such a low number of accidents per kilometre of road.
"We had already been intending to put temporary vehicle-activated speed signs along the road during the summer.
"The most recent accident is subject to a police investigation but if there are any recommendations made as a result we will look into them at the time."

Porter retires from road racing
14/05/2007
Donegal's Raymond Porter has announced his retirement from road racing.
The Lifford rider was struggling to find his form in the early stages of the season and quit after Saturday's Superbike race at the North West 200.
A statement from his sponsors, McAdoo Racing, said the Porter was hanging up his leathers "due to the extremely dangerous nature of the sport".
The 30-year-old was a former 600cc winner at the North West and also took a podium place at the Isle of Man TT.
"Knowing what Raymond has been through in recent months we fully respect his decision and wish him every success in his future life away from the sport.
"Road racing is much too dangerous to ask a rider to go out and compete at any level, let alone win international road races, when he isn't fully focused and committed," added the statement from the Cookstown-based team.
