Josie Scullion, who is spearheading the campaign, said this week: 'We are living a nightmare.'
Mrs Scullion and other residents have been campaigning for a number of years to get traffic measures in place.
She said: "It is a shame that we have to approach the newspaper for someone to hopefully notice us."
Josie has witnessed the recklessness and speed on the roads throughout her lifetime and thinks it is time that someone did something about it.
People in the area fear for the lives of their children as the main Mountjoy Road that has two bus stops on it, hasn't got a speed limit imposed on it.
Mrs Scullion added: "I am looking out for the children, I don't want to see any child die as a result of the speed."
The residents are appealing for speed ramps and the 30mph speed restriction to be put in place in this built up area.
"I see traffic going past at that high of a speed, that you can't even tell the colour of the car." Josie said.
"We have been down a number of avenues with the road service and the council, but still nothing."
With several outlets in this small area residents feel it is too dangerous for the children.

Danger

She also added because they are a rural area, they are being overlooked.
"We fully support the regeneration of Coalisland, but feel we are being ignored here.
"Being in the country, we get no feedback at all.
"I feel I am fighting a losing battle."
Another resident Susan Gervin added: "It has got to be calmed down, children lives are at risk."
A spokesperson for the road service said the Killen/Brocagh area is to be re assed in the next few weeks, and currently no speed restrictions are in place.
Local MLA Michelle O'Neill is in full support of the resident's campaign to secure speeding restrictions on the busy road.
She said: "The Killen area, particularly Lakeview Park where there are a lot of children playing needs speed ramps.
"The main Mountjoy road also needs speeding restrictions put in place.
She added: "There is no way I would stand back and let the rural areas suffer.
"I am with these people in their plight to get traffic calming in place."
Michelle is in constant contact with the road service to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the community as a whole.
