West London residents are increasingly worried as cars navigating the curve at Beaverbrook Avenue and Proudfoot Lane appear to be skidding off the road and into the path of pedestrians.

The 90 degree curve is not technically a corner - despite appearances - and that has stood in the way of installing a stop sign.

Now after more than a year of warnings to city hall, resident Bill Oke is sounding the alarm as he points out the newest set of tire tracks on the sidewalk.

"This is just the latest, a week ago...If that happens when we are walking around here, we're dead."

Neighbours say the tracks are the result of drivers going too quickly around the bend and sliding off the road.

Oke has been warning city hall of the danger, but so far staff has just replaced a missing sign telling drivers to slow down.

He was hoping for a stop sign, but they can only be installed at corners, not curves, and the area won't offically be a corner until Beaverbrook is eventually extended.

City staff did not respond to a request for comment, but Oke's emails from the city's transportation manager, Maged ElMadhoon, dated April 2014 say, "A "stop" sign is not a standard at a curved road. The warning signs in place are adequate for this type of road pattern."

After checking with police, a second email dated Nov. 2013 adds that they "Found that collisions are within normal (parameters) as in similar areas."

But Oke believes most incidents result in minimal damage, so drivers aren't reporting them.

Now he's pressing for a different solution, better protection for pedestrians by extending the guard rails.

"As you can see they're brand new, they just don't go far enough,' he says.

The concerns will go before the Civic Works Committee on Monday.
