Speeding motorists using a road through Matson as a "racecourse" are to be clamped down on, as community leaders look for a long-term solution to the congested route.
Homeowners are complaining about cars tearing through Winnycroft Lane as well as young drivers loitering and revving their engines late at night and on weekends.
A number of wing mirrors have also been reported smashed off of parked cars.
Several near misses and minor collisions have been reported on the street as well.
Community leaders are calling on the police to enforce the 30mph speed limit on the road which they believe has become dangerous.
Liam Kelch, the chairman of the Matson and Robinswood Association, said there had been a number of complaints of drivers "using it as a racecourse".
"We have spoken to the police before about this but I think the problem has got worse," he said. "People are being really silly on the road."
As well as antisocial behaviour, the neighbourhood is concerned with increasing congestion on the route during peak hours as it is increasingly used as a rat run for commutersinto the city.
Cars are often parked by the pavement, meaning the road is often reduced to one lane, hampering progress for vehicles and causing delays.
The problem is expected to become worse in the future with the area earmarked for up to 650 new homes in coming years.
Barwood Development Securities hopes to build 450 at Winnycroft Farm and 200 homes are being proposed by Linden Homes on adjacent land at Corncroft Lane.
Councillor for Matson and Robinswood Kate Haigh (Lab) is hoping the developers can be encouraged to work with local authorities to introduce a better layout for the road.
"In the short or medium term we could do with some traffic calming measures put in place," she said. "They really need to look at the design of the road and the junctions."
