    I would be strongly in favour of having speed ramps fitted across the entrance to each estate. It would certainly slow drivers down as well as stop them from cutting corners. They might also take a bit more time to read the traffic signs and follow the one way traffic system where they are in place. A good enough reason for not allowing my kids play on the green area unsupervised is the speed at which cars enter the wood estate from the roundabout. Putting a hard stop speed ramp a short distance from the entrance to each of the estates would force drivers to not only slow right down but they might see the children playing in the estates as well and drive with more caution.

    The worst offenders IMO are new visitors to the area and delivery vehicles.

    These kind of ramps are not overly expensive but they are extremely effective at stopping cars.

    Effective and satisfing all at the same time.

    That may lead to an increase in speeding though ..

    Could mini roundabouts be an option?

    Ramps are poor way of calming and they look awful.
