Residents on a street in the Perth suburb of Thornlie, where a baby was killed on Friday, will sign a petition calling for the road to be made safer.
The 11-month-old girl was being pushed in a stroller by her mother when they were hit by a car which careered out of control after clipping another vehicle at high speed.
The baby girl died at the scene from head injuries.
The 24-year-old driver will appear in court next week on charges of dangerous driving occasioning death, dangerous driving occasioning bodily harm, and driving under the influence of alcohol.
Resident Ray Lapham says people are constantly speeding on the street and he will be collecting signatures and calling on Gosnells Council to improve safety.
"[We need] another roundabout or the odd speed bump, more police presence, or even a radar up on one of these poles, or a permanent radar," he said.
"Maybe something might get done eventually."
Gosnells Mayor Olwen Searle says council will consider any petition it receives, but denies there is a problem with hoons in the area.
"No more than other municipality anywhere in the metropolitan area," she said.
"I would think there is just as much, no more no less, than what everyone else has to endure."
