WATCH: 'Menacing' bikers pull wheelies and stunts on busy A34 in Great Barr
Shocking footage has emerged of bikers pulling wheelies, weaving along bus lanes and riding through red lights on one of the Midlands' busiest routes.
Riders pulled off the dangerous moves on the A34 Birmingham Road, in Great Barr, near the M6 junction in footage posted online on Sunday.
The road has been the scene for a series of fatal crashes over recent months including the deaths of schoolgirl Zoe Shapiro and young football fan Charlie Heywood.
And school pupils have joined calls from councillors for a boost in road safety on the stretch of the A34 between Walsall and Birmingham.
WATCH footage of dangerous stunts being pulled by riders
A bikers' group posted the footage on social media site Instagram and it has already been viewed more than 31,000 times.
The footage shows shows a biker pulling a wheelie on the road outside a convenience store.
It then shows him jumping onto the bike to ride it on one wheel past a bus stop before he is joined by a second rider to race through a red light at the junction with Chapel Lane.
The rider balances on one foot as he pulls a wheelie and weaves along the road, past the entrance to the roundabout at junction eight of the M6.
He continues up onto the flyover and onto the bus lane, all while traffic passes on the opposite side of the carriageway near the Scott Arms junction.
More footage shows move stunts being pulled along Queslett Road near shops as the route leads towards Aldridge.
Inspector Richard Phillips from Sandwell Police said: “We can confirm that we received complaints from local residents around nuisance caused by people riding off road bikes in the Great Barr area this Sunday.
"There is a huge amount of work going into tackling this menace on our communities.
"Although this isn’t always visible to the public - be reassured we are taking action, and working with our partners to tackle this issue.
“I would ask members of the public to help us in our battle to target this kind of anti-social behaviour on our roads.
"If you have images or footage of anti-social riding, have seen the bikes or know where they are kept, I’d ask you to contact us so we can take action."
Anyone with information is asked to call West Midlands Police on 101 or contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Pupils have produced signs and banners to urge people to stay safe outside St Margaret's CofE Primary in Birmingham Road.
The youngsters designed banners encouraging more safety on the bus dual carriageway.
They launched their campaign with the help of Sandwell Council, the local police and fire service.
