Crashes resulted in two vehicles being flipped in the same Slough street on Monday.

A car overturned after reportedly approaching width restrictions in Meadfield Road at 8am, introduced by the council over a decade ago.

The collision reportedly took out the light illuminating the warning sign where the road is narrowed by bell-shaped bollards, before a second vehicle also later crashed nearby.

Martin, who owns a guitar shop metres from the width restrictions, has called for changes following several incidents at the problem spot. 

"It's been here years and since they have put the bells at the side, practically every day we hear a bang, often someone has whacked into it and ruined their tyre or their wheel," said Martin, owner of Guitar Centre.

"It is dangerous and it is about time they took it away."

The width restrictions of six foot six inches aimed to curb speeding.

Residents have taken to social media saying drivers use the road like a 'racetrack'.

Slough Borough Council lead member for transport and the local environment, councillor Mohammed Nazir said: "Unfortunately there were two incidents in one day – one of which took out the central lit sign at the width restriction and also the opposite lamppost.

"Our team was called out in the evening of the incident to clear the road of debris and make sure the remains of the lit sign, street furniture and lamppost were safe after the second hit in the day."

Upon inspection, the lamppost taken out by the initial incident will need to be replaced along with the illuminated signs in the middle.

The council has previously considered speed cushions, however this idea was rejected by residents.

Meadfield Road is situated in a residential area where the speed limit is 30mph.

Councillor Nazir added: "The speed limit is 30mph, however with all speed limits, it should be considered a maximum, not a target and people should drive to the conditions of the road, any speed calming measures that are in place and with due care and attention.

"We would advise drivers to be patient and to navigate the restriction at a speed which means they can do so safely.

"Any incidents like this mean we will look at the area again, however with the restriction having been there for so long and there being no consensus as to alternative speed calming measures which could take its place it is likely to remain for the foreseeable future."
