In just 18 months, Lindsay Hardy has witnessed three cars crash just metres from his Glen Rd home, most recently on Monday morning, when a car careened into his front yard.
It was only a matter of time before an innocent bystander was killed, Mr Hardy said.
"It's going to be someone walking their dog.
On Monday, the pair were "minutes" from stepping out the door when the car crashed across the footpath in front of their house, Mr Hardy said.
"[My son] could have been walking down the road and that car — straight into him."
He was also concerned about the impact the crashes were having on his son.
"My son's 6 years old and he's witnessed [the] aftermath of three crashes.
"It's residents that have to see these things."
Mr Hardy would not be renewing his lease and planned to move out of the area.
"I looked at the section which is beside me that’s for sale. I was thinking ‘Well, that’d be quite a good place to buy’."
"[But the road’s] too busy and it’s all hours of the night.
"Cars are just going screaming up and down the hill all the time — someone’s going to get hurt."
Mr Hardy said at night, the road was treated like "some Tokyo Drift spot" by boy racers, while every day motorists were trying to get up the road as fast as possible.
He wanted to see speed reduction measures put in place along the road, such as speed humps or cameras.
The Dunedin City Council was unable to respond to questions yesterday.
