Highways bosses have promised to investigate a junction where motorists regularly speed along a pavement.
James Moore, who has an eight-year-old son, lives on Nanpantan Road in Loughborough and his front door opens straight onto the pavement.
Cars trying to bypass queues at the junction with Woodhouse Lane regularly bump up onto the kerb and pass just inches from his front door.
He counted 17 vehicles in just one hour one morning driving on the pavement and today he fired off an email to Leicestershire County Council's chief executive, John Sinnott, demanding action.
He told the Mercury: "I've been counting the cars and taking pictures for a long time and it's got worse recently.
"A lot of people at the junction are coming out of Loughborough and have to wait to turn right to go towards the M1.
"There's no filter lane so people stuck behind wanting to go straight on just drive onto the pavement.
"One day I had two motorists actually shouting at me to get out of the way when I was standing on the pavement outside my house.
"The county council are reluctant to make it a priority because no-one's been injured yet but someone could be killed.
"All they need to do is put in a bollard, which I'm told would only cost £98."
James said there were already bollards on the pavement but they were not stopping people driving past his house.
He said: "There's a 25-metre stretch of pavement they regularly drive along and they go at about 20mph."
In his email to Mr Sinnott, James said: "I am escalating this to you personally because I have repeatedly reported to Leicestershire County Council the hazard to public safety of traffic driving on the pavement.
"Despite numerous previously reported incidents when I and my family have had to take evasive action to avoid traffic on the pavement the repeated assertion is that there is nothing that the council can do until there is an accident."
A county council spokesman said yesterday that driving on the pavement was illegal and the council would look at ways to address the problem.
He said: "We're concerned to hear about the problems experienced by Mr Moore and we sent an officer out this morning, to assess the situation.
"We will discuss the situation with all the local residents, before we can decide on the best approach to take.
"We have undertaken a number of safety measures over the past few years, including the installation of two bollards and moving the road centre-line away from the houses, to create more space on the road.
"We will need to consider whether putting another bollard on this stretch of pavement would make it too narrow for people using double-buggies or disability scooters, particularly as there is a care home nearby."
