RESIDENTS living along the A131 High Garrett plan to sign a petition, or even build a makeshift sign, to improve safety precautions in their road.
Ingrid Payne and neighbours plan to meet after Christmas demanding extra measures from Essex County Council such as speed bumps or zebra crossings.
Only two weeks before Thursday's fatal crash, David Bradley, 30, James Simmons, 18, and 21-year-old Coz Powell, were killed in a two-car smash just one mile north on the A1017 Gosfield Road.
And in February, a Ford KA driver in her 20s, was airlifted to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge and in a coma for three months after a collision involving a black Mercedes.
There were at least 21 collisions on the A131 High Garrett between 2005 and 2013, one of them fatal, and at least 13 on the A1017 between Braintree and Gosfield during the same period.
The county council has said it funds remedial works if at least four personal injury collisions happen within a five-year period in a 50-metre stretch.
Ingrid Payne said: "We all feel strongly about this and especially considering she is a neighbour and a teenage girl."
Ms Payne also raised £500 for Essex Air Ambulance by handing out buckets at her gym buddies meet-up at the Fennes Estate in Bocking on Saturday.
"It was an ideal opportunity to raise awareness," she said.
Braintree district councillor for Bocking North, Anthony Everard, who has been campaigning for greater road safety measures with fellow ward politician Cllr David Mann, wants remedial work on the A131 High Garrett where it meets Church Street.
