Readers have been having their say on which roads in Colchester need cameras installed to tackle speeding.

There have been numerous reports in recent years where drivers have ignored speed limits.

In some cases, motorists in Essex had been caught by police travelling at speeds up to three times higher than the legal limit.

We asked people on Facebook which roads they thought were hotspots for speeding and needed cameras installed to crackdown on the issue.

There was more than 100 suggestions, so here are a few of the roads put forward by readers.

Gill Gadsdon added: "St. John’s road. Cars always speeding up and down there."

Mersea Road

Becky Davies said: "Mersea road, the opposite side to where there already is one. Too many accidents happening from people speeding up the hill and losing control at the corner."

Cambridge Road

Linda Lomas said: "They speed up to 60mph along there."

Claudine Camp added: "A road full of families and young children, not to mention very loved pets - a huge worry for families who live there every single day with cars racing down the wide road at speeds of over 60 mph."

A124, Great Horkesly 

Debbie Johnson said: "No way anyone slows down to 30mph going into the village and they are usually hitting 60+ by the time they get to the national speed limit sign going towards Colchester. No one cares its a blind exit and a footpath straight onto the road. It's just a matter of time."

East Street

David Bates said: "Boy racers and idiot drivers who don’t think they need to give way turning left up Ipswich Road or going straight on . That mini roundabout is dangerous - have lost count of the times I’ve been turning right up Ipswich Road and have been nearly taken out by speeding drivers."

Wick Road

Lawrence Crampton said: "Wick Rd Langham, especially at school time , driver's couldn't care less if they hit a child . It's 30mph not 50mph."
