'How many fatalities before something is done?'
BBCA community in the Cotswolds believe more lives will be lost unless the speed limit is lowered on the 60mph road outside of their homes.
There have been two fatal collisions on the A436 between Andoversford and Bourton-on-the-Water in the past year.
People living in the hamlet of Westfield are also calling for new warning signs to be installed on the approach.
Resident Peter Davidson-Smith said "the speed of traffic has become unacceptable" in the past few years.
In the latest incident on 15 May, a woman was killed and four others were seriously injured after a two-vehicle collision.
Mr Davidson-Smith said the speed limit needs to be reduced before anyone else is injured or killed.
"At least a 50mph limit," he said. "The rest of the A436, right the way from Andoversford to the Air Balloon, is all 50mph. Why is our bit not? Because we have a lot more hazards here."
Mr Davidson-Smith said he wrote to Gloucestershire County Council and Gloucestershire Police after a man was killed in a crash in June 2024 but was disappointed with their responses.
"They did reply to my letters, but it was a tick box exercise," he said. "They had to respond, but absolutely nothing has come of it".
Another Westfield resident, Becky Mills, said trying to cross the road with children and animals was "chaotic".
"There's a lot more traffic," she said. "But it is definitely going very fast now.
"If you're crossing on your own, you still feel something will come round the corner.
"It's very traumatic for all of us here. My husband was the first on the scene [of the June 2024 collision]. It affects you not only in a physical way, but mentally, because you're worried about when it will happen again."
Tim Davidson-Smith runs Westfield Farm and said hearing a crash is "quite disturbing".
"When you hear that loud bang, you think 'oh dear, what's happened now?'," he said.
"You never quite know what's going to greet you when you walk round the corner.
"We have tried on numerous occasions to get Gloucestershire Highways to come out and talk to us about the road and see if there's anything they can do. A lot of signs on the road have disappeared over the years and not been replaced.
"The biggest fear is that one of us, the local residents, will be involved and that we will be waiting to cross the road when something does happen.
Gloucestershire Constabulary declined to comment when contacted by the BBC, adding it is a matter for the council.
Gloucestershire County Council has been approached for a comment.
