We moved into the area a year ago, more or less, and live on St. Ann's Road near the piano factory. The speeds that vehicles come down from the Hermitage Road junction to Seven Sisters Road are unbelievable. I see cars and vans doing mid-40s on that stretch regularly.
I wondered whether there had been any attempts to persuade the relevant authorities to make it a 20mph road in the past. I realise that there can't be speed bumps because it's a major ambulance thoroughfare, but speed cameras and a 20mph limit would surely help do the trick.

But how does this work with the places that have made most/all of their residential streets 20 mph - e.g. Portsmouth. Surely they have not put traffic calming on every road?

The first step would be to ask St Anns SNT to conduct a low viz speed survey along that stretch to assess the problem and if your suspicions are proven true then they could consider taking enforcement action. Installing a fixed speed camera is another matter and I am trying to find out who you would need to contact etc re this.

I have found out that Speed Cameras are put in place by TFL. You can contact them via their website. The person to speak to is Nick Chitty.
This site is worth a look as it has all the info on there but be quick as it's apparently about to be closed down.
I hope that helps but I suspect that by the time you've cleared all the hurdles you'll be ready for the 2012 Olympics!!
