A vehicle travelling too fast on Tenbrink Street left the road and took out a bus stop sign in the early hours of Sunday, hitting a power-pole.
It took place across the road from the home of Robert Woods, whose front fence was taken out by a driver in November last year.
"It happened at about 1.30am, a person hit the bus stop sign and the pole and then drove off," Mr Woods said.
"I called the police ... they came at 11am on Sunday.
"The police have been booking people left, right and centre, but there's not much you can do. We've offered for them to sit in our driveway and see what happens.
"They're not slowing down, period.
"You worry on a wet day someone might take the corner too fast during the day."
A letter was delivered to 450 local houses in February 2020 including a survey about local traffic - 130 survey responses were received.
The Council first proposed changes in September last year, after reviewing traffic through counters and holding consultation.
These were "installation of channelised turning lanes at Hodge Street, speed reduction from 60km/h to 50km/h on Ryan Road, Tenbrink Street and Gap Road, installation of stop signs on Hodge and Wilkinson Streets at Tenbrink Street and implementation of a surface treatment on Tenbrink Street to improve vehicle traction".
The first three measures have been implemented but Mr Woods, who is among many concerned residents, said the surface treatment was yet to happen.

"The safety rail has saved neighbours a few times; there's been three cars that have hit that already," he said.
"They were supposed to resurface the road here 12 months ago."
