A woman from Kings Langley is campaigning for traffic calming measures after a passing lorry wrote off her car while it was parked outside her home. 

Sarah-Jane Bradish, 31, manager of a recruitment business, was in her home on Monday, September 15, when a lorry smashed into her BMW. 

The man driving the lorry was from Romania and he told her it was his first day working in England.

According to Sarah there has been a huge increase in the number of lorries using the road because of a number of companies moving into the area.

She said: "Primrose Hill is a busy road with a train station, a park, a school and residents living nearby. 

"A Mercedes was also hit in the incident, although the damage was not as bad.

"On another occasion my son and I were walking along the road when coincidentally another HGV lorry almost hit us.

"I think it’s a matter of time before a fatal accident happens. 

"If I had been walking along the path by my house or getting out of my car at the time, the consequences could have been severe."

Tom Shipp, spokesman for Hertfordshire County Council, said: "We are concerned when any collisions occurs on Hertfordshire’s road network. 

"The council’s road safety engineering specialists consider all reported personal injury collisions on an annual basis. We then prioritise sites for investigation to identify road safety engineering works that have the greatest potential to reduce the occurrence of collisions.

"Before the recent non-injury collision there had been one reported slight injury collision in the past three years along Primrose Hill, which occurred in September 2012. 

"At this stage, we do not have plans to undertake any road safety engineering investigation or works for Primrose Hill."

Sarah’s next step will be to contact local councillors and to gain the support of other residents nearby. 

Sarah said: "The main problem is lorries speed down the road so speeding measures need to be put into place. 

"Width restrictions wouldn’t work, but perhaps speed bumps or speed cameras could be put into place.

"Hopefully something can be done about this."
